The New York Mets have struggled all season, and the bright spot on the team had been the pitching of Matt Harvey. The Mets suffered a blow when it was revealed that there is a possibility Harvey faces Tommy John surgery and will be out through next season. That has to damage the psyche of a team that is already fragile. The Mets are already in a funk, having dropped five straight. The Phillies have finally come alive after playing themselves out of contention after the All-Star break. The Phillies have won seven of their last nine as their bats have come alive. Kyle Kendrick has done his best work within the division where the Phillies own a 12-5 mark in his last 17 starts. The Mets' lack of offense has been telling, as they are now 0-7 in their last seven games after plating 2 runs or less in their previous contest. Take Philadelphia.
