The New York Mets are a different team in 2025.

While Juan Soto has struggled to find his footing in the Mets' roster, it seems as if his acquisition has boosted the stats of everyone else. The Mets are 16-7 this year, and are a phenomenal 10-1 at home.

Last night, the Mets almost choked, allowing the Phillies to come back with four runs in the 9th, but the Mets still pulled through with relief pitcher Edwin Diaz gaining the save and a final 5-4 score. 

Tonight, Mets right-handed pitcher Griffin Canning (3.43 ERA) goes up against Phillies left-handed pitcher Cristopher Sánchez (2.96 ERA). For the Phillies, Brandon Marsh is still on the 10-day injured list due to a hamstring strain, which limits the Phillies' offensive capabilities (and helps the Mets' odds). 

As of today, the Mets are 1-0 in the series, with the odds favoring the Phillies tonight due to Sánchez putting up better starting performances than Canning in the 2025 MLB season.

Key players you need to watch on the Mets

  • Pete Alonso – The Mets' offensive cornerstone in 2025, Alonso is having a career year. He currently leads the team across the board with a .341 batting average, 6 home runs, 24 RBIs, an elite 1.140 OPS, and a potent .695 slugging percentage. 
  • Francisco Lindor – An outrageously athletic force at shortstop, Lindor is off to a strong start with a .284 batting average, 5 home runs, and 13 RBIs. He's contributed consistently across the board, posting an .840 OPS and scoring 16 runs over 22 games — plus, he had a lead-off homerun last night.
  • Juan Soto – Soto has drawn 17 walks through 23 games, fueling his excellent .370 on-base percentage. With 3 home runs, 12 RBIs, and a solid .785 OPS, he's underperforming compared to last year, but his threat within the lineup has allowed other players to step up to the plate.

Key players you need to watch on the Phillies

  • Kyle Schwarber – The Phillies’ power threat continues to thrive in 2025. Through 23 games, Schwarber leads the team with 7 home runs, 16 RBIs, and an eye-popping .978 OPS. 
  • Bryson Stott – Now a mainstay at second base, Stott has quietly become one of the Phillies’ most consistent hitters. His .295 AVG and .805 OPS over 20 games are complemented by his 13 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. 
  • Zack Wheeler – Once again anchoring the rotation, Wheeler has posted 2 wins and an elite 11.8 K/9 rate through five starts. His 3.73 ERA doesn't tell the whole story, as his 0.99 WHIP and .217 opponent batting average highlight his skill as an incredible pitcher.

Who's winning the Mets vs. Phillies series?

The series is going to the Mets. The game tonight might go to the Phillies as left-handed pitcher Cristopher Sánchez (2.96 ERA) has posted better pitching stats than the NY Mets starter, Griffin Canning. However, the Mets' bullpen has been outstanding, with relief pitchers Reed Garrett, Ryne Stanek, and A.J. Minter delivering consistently clutch performances. Also, working in the Mets' favor, Phillies' center-fielder and star-hitter Brandon Marsh is still out with a hamstring strain.
