“Wheeler’s Last Stand: Can He Save Phillies from Mets’ Sweep?”

For the Mets, you really couldn’t ask for a much better start to the season. You make a huge splash signing a monster hitter to add to your lineup that made it to the NLCS last season, and you’re actually winning games to start the year. The biggest, and perhaps best part of this whole thing is that Juan Soto, the aforementioned huge splash, isn’t even playing that well. I wouldn’t have classified the Mets as a team with a ton of room for error, but they have been as good as you could hope for despite early season Soto struggles. A lot of that success is credited to the pitching staff who has David Peterson representing them today. Peterson is 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Similar to Wheeler, Phillies hitters should know what is coming against Peterson, but haven’t had a ton of success.
