The Mets' hitting statistics from previous games indicate a team warming up as the game progresses, with significant hits and runs often coming in later innings. This trend suggests that patience at the plate could be key against the Phillies' pitchers. The bullpen's ERA and WHIP suggest they've been relatively effective at limiting opponents' scoring opportunities, which could play a crucial role in late-game scenarios.


Fielding is another area where the Mets have shown proficiency, maintaining a perfect fielding percentage in recent outings. This defensive reliability will be crucial in keeping the Phillies' hitters at bay.
