The Phillies smoked the Mets in the NL East last year, winning the division by 13 games. But the Mets won the offseason, especially when they stunned the Phils and signed Bo Bichette.

So, who’s better?

We go position by position through the Phillies and Mets lineups, including the rotation and bullpen:

• Catcher: Francisco Alvarez vs. J.T. Realmuto
• First base: Jorge Polanco vs. Bryce Harper
• Second base: Marcus Semien vs. Bryson Stott
• Third base: Bo Bichette vs. Alec Bohm
• Shortstop: Francisco Lindor vs. Trea Turner
• Left field: Carson Begne/Tyrone Taylor vs. Brandon Marsh/Otto Kemp
• Center field: Luis Robert Jr vs. Justin Crawford
• Right field: Juan Soto vs. Adolis García
