You could say that the New York Mets were looking forward to the Philadelphia Phillies, however dicey an excuse it makes for the club's downturn in the last two series. But if the Mets were destined to rebound against the Phillies in a fight for the NL East lead, they'll have to do it with a makeshift pitching roster.
Starting pitcher Tylor Megill, previously scheduled to hurl for tonight's 7:15 p.m. EST series opener in Philadelphia, has been knocked out for four to five weeks with an elbow sprain. As of press time, the visiting Mets were still busy determining a spot-starter for the game, potentially Justin Hagenman or Brandon Waddell from the Triple-A rotation, according to Ezra Lombardi of Sports Illustrated.
Is it bad timing? No, it's worse. 7-2 hurler Zack Wheeler is set to take the mound for Philly, intending to extend New York's losing streak to seven ball games.

Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets Predictions and Picks
Philadelphia already came into the Mets-Phillies series as the healthier ball club. With the Mets hampered by injury at a critical spot, the Phils have a shot to stamp their superiority with a series-opening win that would put the Mets under pressure on the road, where they've looked especially lacking as of late.
If there's anything to keep Philadelphia's run line odds affordable, it's Wheeler's modest 5-5 record against the New York Mets. Fans may see that Wheeler's career ERA versus the Metropolitans is nearly 4.00 and decide that New York's long odds are worth a gamble. But the Philly hurler has found his touch against those same Mets over the last year or so, going 13 frames with 17 strikeouts in the last two meetings.
The circumstances are too much for the Mets to overcome away from Citi Field. Look for Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies to cover (-1.5) runs tonight.
