The Mets and Phillies have met eight times thus far in 2018 with New York winning five games. All but two of the games have been played in New York. The Phillies are 39-19 (.672) at home compared to 27-34 (.443) on the road -- this win percentage difference is the largest in the National League.

New York has gone 5-2 over its last seven games, scoring 6.86 runs per game over that span. In the first seven games of August, the Mets went 2-5, averaging 2.86 runs.

Philadelphia split a two-game series with Boston, finishing the year 2-2 against the MLB-leading Red Sox. The Phillies have won six of their last seven home games, and have only lost three home games since the beginning of July.

Michael Conforto's career OPS against Philadelphia is .986. Among active players with at least 130 plate appearances against the Phillies, Conforto's OPS ranks seventh, behind Ryan Braun, Edwin Encarnacion, Yoenis Cespedes, Miguel Cabrera, current Phillie Asdrubal Cabrera and Troy Tulowitzki.

In his Phillies debut last night, Wilson Ramos picked up three extra-base hits, scored three runs and knocked three runners home. He is the first player with three or more extra-base hits in his Phillies debut since Ed Freed on September 11, 1942. Freed went on to pick up only one more XBH in his career.

New York's Corey Oswalt sports a .245 opponent batting average on balls in play as a starter. Among NL pitchers with at least 30.0 innings as a starter, this is the sixth-lowest BABIP. Philadelphia's Ranger Suarez has made one start, picking up a win despite allowing four earned runs over 5.0 innings against the Reds.

New York's Steven Matz pitched to a 0.49 ERA over his first four divisional road starts this year, including a five-inning, one-run performance at Citizen's Bank Park in May. In his most recent divisional road start, however, Matz allowed seven earned runs to the Nationals, failing to make it out of the first inning.

Philadelphia's Zach Eflin has improved his ERA from 6.16 in 2017 to 3.57 this season. His decrease of 2.59 ranks as the third-largest decrease among starters with at least 10 starts in both seasons.
