The Mets are playing some terrible baseball and proved it again last night as they lost 5-4 to the Phillies. Joey Butto goes today and he's allowed eight runs in his last three starts losing two. Aaron Nola hasn't had much success against the Mets but he's having great success this season and comes off his second loss allowing four runs in five and two-thirds to the Blue Jays. Mets are having difficulties and it continues today, Phillies win.

Jose Butto will be facing a red hot Phillies lineup that has been as good as any lineup in the league and ranks in the top 5 in virtually every hitting statistic/metric. They also have been stingy against opposing right handed pitching as they possess the 10th lowest K rate. The Phillies have also faced Butto 3x since 2022 and have excellent numbers against the 26 year old hurler.
