Phillies vs Mets MLB Live Stream Reddit for Series Opener

Two NL East division rivals meet for the first of a four-game series, as the New York Mets continue their road trip against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets just split a four-game series against the Cubs at Wrigley, while the Phillies are in a free fall, losing seven games in a row and 16 of their last 22.

How to Watch Phillies vs Mets

First pitch in Philly is set for 7:05 pm ET. The game will be televised on NBCSP and SNY, while out-of-market fans can find the game on the MLB Streams subreddit.

Phillies Lineup

Even though the Phillies haven't won in a week, Scott Kingery and SP Zach Eflin have been a steady presence for the team all season. The team's versatile utility man is hitting .328 this season with a .625 slugging percentage and 9 home runs, already one more than last season's total.

Kingery will lead off for the first time this year, with Jean Segura and Bryce Harper following, as Gabe Kapler continues to tinker the lineup in order to spur a hot streak.

Eflin commands the mound, looking to protect his sterling 2.83 ERA. He's 6-7 on the year with 73 strikeouts across 86 innings of work. There's likely not a face Phils fans would rather see on the hill tonight.

Mets Lineup

The Mets are looking to make headlines on the field this week, as manager Mickey Callaway and SP Jason Vargas made headlines off it for an altercation with a Mets' media member this weekend.

Luckily, NL Player of the Week Pete Alonso and crew come into Philly at just the perfect time to get back on track with a couple wins. Alonso bats second, behind fellow rookie phenom Jeff McNeil.

Steven Matz takes the mound for New York tonight, sporting 5 wins and a 4.28 ERA in 14 starts this season.

Both teams have work to do to catch the division-leading Braves, as the Phillies (39-38) sit six games back, while the Mets (37-41) sit 2.5 games behind Philadelphia.
