NEW YORK METS

Starting Pitcher: Mike Pelfrey (6-10, 4.61 ERA)

In four starts against the Phillies this season, Pelfrey is 0-2 with a 7.58 ERA. His luck has to change this season eventually, right? In his career, he is 6-6 with a 5.12 ERA.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Starting Pitcher: Kyle Kendrick (7-5, 3.24 ERA)

Kendrick allowed two runs in six innings of work in his last start, which he was not expected to make. He filled in for Roy Oswalt who was removed because of a rain delay. Against the Mets, he is 4-5 with a 2.88 ERA.
