A fiery NL East showdown ignites as the surging Mets, fresh off Pete Alonso’s walk-off heroics in Milwaukee, clash with the Phillies’ powerhouse lineup led by Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber (18 HRs this season). Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sánchez (3.32 ERA) aims to silence New York’s resurgent bats, but the Mets’ Luis Severino (3.91 ERA) brings playoff-tested grit after their Game 1 comeback. With both teams battling for divisional supremacy, expect a tactical duel: Philly’s league-leading defense versus Alonso’s clutch hitting and the Mets’ relentless small-ball aggression under the Philly lights.
