The Philadelphia Phillies have built up a ton of momentum heading into this matchup against the New York Mets who have disappointed similar to the Phillies. The Phillies have now won 9 of their last 10 games which included a sweep of the Washington Nationals. The Philadelphia Phillie's Jake Arrieta will be starting at the mound with a 2-4 record in 6 starts with a 6.49 ERA. Jake Arrieta is coming off a disappointing game against the Braves where Arrieta gave up 7 runs in 1.1 innings. The New York Mets will be sending Rick Porcello to the mound who is 1-4 in 7 starts with a 6.00 ERA. Like Jake Arrieta, Rick Porcello has also struggled this year as he's allowing a ton of hard contact. With the starting pitchers likely to struggle yet again I'm going to take the team with the momentum that also happens to be the better hitting team in the Philadelphia Phillies.
