The Mets are in stop-the-pain mode having lost 10 of their last 14 games. The buy sign is on here for the Mets because Max Scherzer gets the start.

In Max we trust. 

Scherzer got back on track in his last start, holding the Astros to one run on four hits in eight innings while striking out eight and allowing only one walk. The Mets easily won that game, 11-1. 

This could be a bullpen game for the Phillies starting Cristopher Sanchez. He's made just two appearances failing to reach five innings either time. Sanchez had a 5.63 ERA in 40 innings with the Phillies last season. 

Despite Friday's loss to the Phillies, the Mets still have defeated Philadelphia in 17 of the past 21 meetings.
