Three Things To Watch For

2. Keep runners for stealing. There was a time frame this season when runners ran all around the Mets. Last evening the Phillies had 17 hits and stole 5 bases.
3. Scoreboard watching. The Braves behind Max Fried are going to get began with the Marlins at the identical time because the Mets this afternoon. The Braves misplaced to the Marlins Friday evening and failed to select up a sport in opposition to the Mets. The Diamondbacks behind Merrill Kelly look to select up a 3rd consecutive win in opposition to the Brewers. Meanwhile, the Padres will attempt to give the White Sox their 119th lack of the season.
