The Phillies are 7-2 the last nine, awoken by the firing of Chuckie Manuel. The most recent loss was in 18 innings. The Mets have lost five straight and certainly the injury to ace Matt Harvey will take even more wind out of their sail. NY has lost 7-of-8 at home with Jon Niese.

Kyle Kendrick has won four straight to New York. Jon Niese has lost two straight to the Phillies. The Mets are 9-32 after three straight games without giving up a stolen base this season. Last five games Philly has a slugging percentage of .393. While not impressive it is substantially better than NY at .266. Philadelphia is 8-2 in New York.
