The upcoming game will be the third in the divisional series at City Field. The first two ended in blowout wins for the Mets, 8-6, 8-2. Buck Showalter's team once again confirmed that they are by far the strongest team in the National League East Division. With a 31-17 balance, the New Yorkers are already nine wins ahead of their closest rival, Atlanta.
Chris Bassitt will pitch the third game of the series against the Phillies for the Mets, 4-2 and a 3.91 ERA.
Philadelphia fights Atlanta, but not the Mets
After losing two games in a row at City Field, Joe Girardi's team has let Atlanta slip ahead. The Phillies are now third in the NL East standings with a 21-26 balance. The Braves are 22-25. Judging by the way the New York Mets are starting the season, fighting for first place in the division is futile, so being above Atlanta is likely the only chance for the Phillies to qualify for the playoffs.
Zack Wheeler will pitch for the Philadelphia Phillies in the upcoming game, No.2 in the National League last season. The pitcher is 3-3 and has a 3.88 ERA in eight starts in the 2022 championship.

Expert Betting Tips
Who else but Zack Wheeler should be the player to break his team's disappointing streak against the New York Mets. Especially in Wheeler's three previous starts, Philadelphia has won against top contenders – the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego and Atlanta. The pitcher is capable of neutralizing Pete Alonso with Francisco Lindor, and the Phillies can always be helped by Bryce Harper at bat.
Prediction: a win for Philadelphia.
