Who is starting for the Mets?
Jose Butto, who has been a bright spot for the Mets when given a chance as a spot starter this season. In eight appearances (six starts), the young righty has pitched to a 3.75 ERA.
His last time out on the mound, Butto allowed four earned runs over 4.0 innings against this same Phillies team.
Who is starting for the Phillies?
Matt Strahm, who has primarily pitched out of the bullpen this season. This will be his 10th start of the season but his 56th game overall.
Strahm has been a good pickup for the Phillies, pitching to 3.32 ERA while striking out 106 batters in 86.2 innings.
Upcoming schedule
It still has not officially been announced whether or not the Mets and Marlins will need to finish their Sept. 28 suspended game. The Marlins, who led 2-1 in the ninth inning, have already clinched a Wild Card spot in the postseason.
If the game is not resumed, the Mets season is over.
