TONIGHT'S PITCHERS

Phillies RHP Joe Blanton (7-6, 5.04) vs. Mets RHP R.A. Dickey (11-7, 2.92)

WHO'S HOT

Shane Victorino: The centerfielder went 1-for-12 in the sweep of the Braves but still is hitting .326 with a .408 on-base percentage and .873 OPS in 21 games in September.

WHO'S NOT

Placido Polanco: Since his batting average peaked at .325 in mid-August, Polanco is hitting just .217 with seven extra-base hits in 35 games. Polanco is battling a sore elbow that will likely require offseason surgery.

THREE MATCHUPS TO WATCH

Joe Blanton vs. Mets: Over his last 18 starts, Blanton is 6-1 with a 4.12 ERA. He faced the Mets once in that span, holding them to two runs in seven innings of a 7-5 win at Citizens Bank Park on Aug. 6.

Phillies vs. R.A. Dickey: They've faced the knuckleballer three times this season, once with good results (six runs in three innings of a 6-5 victory at Citizens Bank Park on Aug. 8) and twice with not-so-good results (15 scoreless innings at Citi Field, including a one-hit complete game shutout in a 1-0 loss on Aug. 13).

Phillies vs. Mets: They took two out of three from their one-time rivals at Citi Field Sept. 10-12 and are 8-7 against them this season.
