PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - SEPTEMBER 15: J.T. Realmuto #10 of the Philadelphia Phillies has a walk off hit in the ninth inning to beat the New York Mets 2-1 at Citizens Bank Park on September 15, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

We know the Phillies opponent and we have the Phillies NLDS Schedule. After Pete Alonso came up clutch in the biggest movement of his life, and Devin Williams came up unclutch, it will be Phillies vs Mets for the first time in playoff history. 63 seasons of rivalry, and finally the two teams will meet in October.

Two Teams With Very Different Seasons

Each of their seasons went in different directions. The Phillies came out of the gates on fire, looking like the best team in baseball, but then cooled off as the season went along. They still finished with 95 wins, the second most in baseball, but they hit a couple of roadblocks in July and August. However, they finished fairly strong in September.

Meanwhile, the Mets were a mess at the start of the year. When the two teams met in London, the Phillies were already 16.5 games up on them. But something turned for them at around that same time. When they came back they were on a mission. Few teams played better over the 2nd half of the season, and they sneaked into the playoffs with the final playoff spot.

So who do you take? The team that played better over the last 3 months, or the team that was better over the course of an entire season? Despite all the talk of the Mets strong finish, their records in September were not too different, and the Phillies had more hits, HRs, and runs in the final month. Take out Taijuan Walker and whoever else they threw out there every 5th game, and their pitchers pitched better too.

Still, the Mets are a formidable opponent. Can the Phillies defeat them to move o into the NLCS for the 3rd straight year?
