The Phillies have beaten the Mets 12 times in 2007. That makes the Phillies the sixth team to beat the Mets at least 12 times during a season in which the Mets finished above .500. Those six teams, in chronological order, are:
1970 Pirates, NL East Division Winner, 12-6 against the Mets who finished with a .512 win pct.
1975 Pirates, NL East Division Winner, 13-5 against the Mets who finished with a .506 win pct.
1976 Phillies, NL East Division Winner, 13-5 against the Mets who finished with a .531 win pct.
1984 Cubs, NL East Division Winner, 12-6 against the Mets who finished with a .556 win pct.
2005 Braves, NL East Division Winner, 13-6 against the Mets who finished with a .512 win pct.
2007 Phillies, ??????????????????????, 12-6 against the Mets who finished with a ??? win pct.
As you can see, if the Mets hold on and win the East this year, the '07 Phils would become the first team to beat a .500+ Mets team at least 12 times but fail to win the NL East. If the Mets can win 4 of their last 7 this season they would be the winningest Mets team ever to lose 12 games to anyone.
