Wheeler is Game 1 starter, and sounds like Sanchez is Game 2game 1 is pretty important for Philly as the Mets have tended to smack Nola around the last few years. Add in Peterson now can’t start I think it’s more the case. Sort of odd due to that stupid new scheduling where one league starts the LDS then has an off day between games 1 and 2 that this series will likely have only 4pm games and no night games

Peterson only threw 8 pitches
I think the Mets probably would prefer to have Peterson starts game 2 and 5.They explained it a bit on MLB network this morning that the routine Peterson had to go through was probably enough to take him out as a starter 2 days later but if Megill is awful he probably comes in anyway. They probably just prefer to have him on a 3 days rest now and likely just have him there to bail out Megill/Severino/Manea the first 3 games
