Since losing their first two games out of the All-Star break, there has not been a hotter team in baseball than the New York Mets.

The Mets have won 15 of their last 17 games, including a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds this week. The Mets have also enjoyed the return of the game’s best starting pitcher, Jacob DeGrom. The Mets ace struck out 12 in 5 2/3 innings his last time out against the Braves.

DeGrom will start Saturday’s game, however, the Mets will send their other ace, Max Scherzer, to the mound tonight to face the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Mets are not the only hot team in the NL East. Thursday’s loss to the Miami Marlins snapped a seven game win streak, but the Phillies have won 12 of its last 14 games overall. They now hold the second wild-card spot in the National League and are a game up on the San Diego Padres.
