The Mets are coming off of a rough two game set against the Red Sox where the Mets allowed a total of 3 runs across both games and still lost both. The bats have fallen silent and something needs to happen to wake them up. So, how about a trip to Philly? The Mets played a ton of their early games this season against the Philly and they return to Philly tonight. The offense struggled the first time they were in Philly, partially due to their long stretch without games. Can the Mets take advantage of sandbox in Philly? Let’s hope.
