Happy Nola Day!

Every fifth day is the happiest of days for Phillies fans. For that's the day that Aaron Nola, bonafide staff ace, pitches for the local nine. And today is no exception.

Nola goes against the formerly surging and now slumping New York Mets tonight. After briefly leap-frogging past the Phillies in the standings, the New Yorkers are back in their rightful place, which happens to be fourth. Or second to last. Your choice. The Mets are 2.5 games behind the Phils in the division and for the second wild card.

So back to Nola. He's pretty good against the Mets. (Checks notes). Uh, he's friggin awesome. He lost to them back in 2015 and hasn't lost to them since. He's faced them 11 times since that loss and has held New York to a .191 batting average while posting a 7-0 record with an ERA under 3. So I like the Phils chances tonight. Geaux Phils.
