Eflin (PHI) 1-1; 3.58 ERA

 

Current odds:

New York Mets: (+110)

Philadelphia Phillies: (-121)

 

• The Phillies haven’t won consecutive games since April 4-5. After rallying from a 4-0 deficit to tie the New York Mets on Saturday, the host Phillies fell 5-4 when Michael Conforto hit a solo home run off Hector Neris to open the ninth inning. Philadelphia will look to win the series in the finale on Sunday night.

• The Phillies could play without Bryce Harper (facial injury), J.T. Realmuto (hand) and Jean Segura (quad). Ironically, Harper was ejected in the seventh inning Saturday for arguing a controversial call against Andrew McCutchen for running out of the basepath.

• Right-hander Zach Eflin (1-1, 3.58 ERA) is coming off a start in which he allowed nine hits and five runs in 6 2/3 innings on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals. Eflin’s 3-4 with a 5.21 ERA in 11 starts against the Mets in his career.

• The Mets will attempt to win the series when they send lefty David Peterson (1-3, 5.59) to the mound on Sunday. He’s 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA in three previous career starts against the Phillies. In Peterson’s last start, he allowed two runs in six innings in a 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Peterson gave up four hits and two walks and struck out three.
