PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — The New York Mets look to build on a series-opening win when they face the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday evening at Citizens Bank Park. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. under partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 86 degrees. The Mets (41-57) will start left-hander Sean Manaea (2-4, 4.15 ERA) against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (1-4 over his last five starts). Manaea is seeking his first win since June 14. Nola is coming off a loss to the Mets on Friday, allowing three earned runs over six innings. New York enters fresh off a 4-1 victory Friday, snapping a four-game skid. Christian Scott, who earned the win in that game with 5⅔ scoreless innings, is a player to watch. The right-hander has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his past four outings, including a win against the Phillies on June 27. The Phillies (54-44) have dropped two straight and four of their last six. Nola, tagged for seven earned runs in 4⅓ innings in his previous start before Friday, will look to regain form. Philadelphia still holds a 9-6 edge in the season series, though the Mets have won three of the last four meetings. Saturday’s matchup features two contrasting offenses: the Phillies rank fourth in the National League in runs per game, while the Mets are 14th. According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is Phillies 6, Mets 5. Philadelphia is a -1.5 run-line favorite, with the over/under set at 9 runs. After Saturday, the Mets continue their road trip Sunday in Philadelphia before heading to Milwaukee for three games. The Phillies host the Los Angeles Dodgers for a three-game set beginning Monday. Injury notes: Neither team reported any late scratches as of Saturday morning.
