This will be the second meeting between these two clubs in 2022. They met earlier this month with the Mets taking two out of three in Philadelphia. With that in mind, the Phillies will be looking to settle the score as they look to continue making up ground in the standings. They enter on a four-game winning streak thanks to some solid pitching performances after limiting the Rockies to just 2.25 runs per game. Aaron Nola was brilliant in his last start firing seven shutout inning against Milwaukee while yielding just one hit and striking out 9. The Phillies are hoping he can build on that performance and be more consistent at the top of their rotation.

The bats also came to life for Philly this week as they put up 32 runs over the four-game set, good for eight per contest. Bryce Harper is rounding into form after a slow start after going 6/15 against Colorado to get his average up to .276. New addition Nick Castellanos has been a rock, batting .319 with a stellar .911 OPS.
I look for the Phillies bats to stay HOT and the Phils to get the win over the Mets behind Nola on Friday night!
