Mets Announce Weekend Rotation vs. Phillies

The time is now for the New York Mets as they embark on their final journey of the 2024 regular season with the biggest series to date coming this weekend. As of Thursday, the Mets are a game ahead of the Atlanta Braves for the third wild card and two games back from the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first wild card spot. They are set to travel down to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies Friday night in a marquee National League East match-up:

Friday 6:40 PM: Jose Quintana vs Aaron Nola

Saturday 4:05 PM: Luis Severino vs Kolby Allard (unofficial)

Sunday 1:35 PM: David Peterson vs Cristopher Sánchez

Jose Quintana opens up the series looking to get his first career win over the Phillies. He has a respectable 3.94 ERA in 11 starts against Philadelphia but will need a big performance to set the tone for the weekend.

Luis Severino‘s lone career start against the Phillies came this year when he gave up zero runs over seven innings pitched. He’s coming off back-to-back one-run starts.

David Peterson has historically been below average against the Phillies, with a career 5.30 ERA in seven starts. However, he has emerged as one of the most reliable pitchers in the rotation, carrying a 3.10 ERA in 10 starts on the road this year.
