The Mets and Phillies begin a mini two game set at Citizens Bank Park this evening starting at 7:05 EST. Jamie Moyer will face off against Pedro Martinez. The game can be seen on SNY and can be heard on WFAN.

Keys to the Game:

  • Solve Moyer: In his career, Moyer has a 2.85 ERA against the Mets. David Wright is one of the few Mets who has been able to hit Moyer, with a .433 career batting average. Moyer has been the Phillies 2nd best starter this year, with his 3.54 ERA. If we want to win this division, we are going to have to beat up the Phillies pitching.
  • Hold Down the Big Guns: Ryan Howard hits home runs, Ryan Howard also strikes out a ton. It is not hard to get Howard out, as he does it himself most of the time. Do not throw Howard any good pitches to hit, because if you do he will crush it.
