Phillies prepare for crucial series against Mets at Citi Field

The Philadelphia Phillies face the New York Mets in a four-game series starting today at Citi Field. Currently, the Phillies have a magic number of six to secure a playoff spot. The Mets, despite recent losses, will look to disrupt Philadelphia's postseason hopes. Kodai Senga, recently moved to the Mets' bullpen, has been effective in his new role, securing multiple saves. Meanwhile, the Phillies are expected to start Aaron Nola, Andrew Painter, and Cristopher Sanchez, with a fourth starter yet to be confirmed.
