Wednesday afternoon, the Philadelphia Phillies will take the field behind Kyle Kendrick (5 -10, 4.87 ERA) as they square off against the New York Mets and Zack Wheeler (5 - 8, 3.64 ERA). Both pitchers will be making their 22^nd starts of the season.

Kyle Kendrick picked up the win his last time out after a 5.2 inning effort where he allowed 3 runs and 6 hits. He walked a batter while striking out 5. Kendrick has had a hard time keeping his opponents off the board this season and that is a main reason for his record. Last season was basically the same for Kendrick as he finished the year with a 10 - 13 record and a 4.70 ERA in 30 starts.

In 2013, Kendrick was 3 -1 with a 3.04 ERA in 4 starts against the Mets. This season, Kendrick has 2 no-decisions against the Mets in 2 starts.

Zack Wheeler didn't get the decision in his last outing even though he put together a decent performance. Wheeler gave up just 2 runs and 3 hits in 6.2 innings as he walked 2 and struck out 9. Wheeler has shown some good stuff in his last few outings and has only allowed 6 runs in his last 5 starts. The young righty should be able to post more wins this season than he did last season when he was 7 - 5 with a 3.42 ERA in 17 starts.

During his rookie campaign in 2013, Wheeler was 0 - 1 with a 3.18 ERA in 2 starts against the Phillies. This season, Wheeler beat Philadelphia after hold in them to a run (on a solo homer) and 4 hits in 6.1 innings.
