Summary
Only one MLB game kicks off the second half early — the Mets vs. Phillies — as ESPN’s exclusive TV deal forces this NL East showdown to take center stage before the rest of the league even resumes. With the Mets struggling and the Phillies hungry for momentum, the matchup highlights star power like Soto and Harper — even if the Mets’ season is spiraling. The extra off day for New York could disrupt pitching plans, adding intrigue to their trade deadline strategy. While the rest of baseball waits, these rivals are stepping up — all thanks to TV contracts and a little scheduling luck.
