What wins baseball games? Pitching does, something the Phillies have and the Mets don't. The Mets will rely on Glavine, El-Duque, Sele, Maine, and Pelfrey. Pedro is out till August too and outside of Glavine their starting pitching stinks.
The Phillies have Myers (14-7), Garcia (16-9), Hamels (led NL in strikouts after the All Star break as a rookie), Moyer (7-3 after he joined the Phillies), and Eaton/Lieber. The Phillies also ranked 1st in run scored last year in the NL.
