The Diamondbacks and Rockies, who are currently leading the NL Wild Card race, are on pace to both win what would be 100 games -- which would be the most ever for a Wild Card team. This is why, despite winning six of their last 10 games, the Mets still lost ground in their pursuit of a third-straight postseason appearance. To end this season with 100 wins, the Mets would need to go 69-25 the rest of the year, which is a .734 winning percentage. The Mets never played better than .650 baseball (during a 30-day stretch) when hot at the end of each of the last two seasons. In other words, to reach their third consecutive postseason in 2017, the Mets need to play a lot better than they did down the Continue to Article

The Mets (31-37) begin a 10-game road trip, starting with the Los Angeles Dodgers (44-26) at Dodger Stadium on Monday at 10:10 p.m. on SNY. The Mets are winners of six of their last 10 games. However, they dropped three of the four games in their latest series against the Washington Nationals. Who is starting tonight for the Mets? RHP Zack Wheeler (4.48 ERA/ 4.36 FIP, 1.46 WHIP) who took the loss in his last start against the Cubs. It was a short outing as he let up eight runs on six hits, including two homers, in 1.2 innings. Wheeler thrives on the road with a 2.76 ERA compared to a 5.91 ERA at home. Who is starting tonight for the Dodgers? LHP Clayton Kershaw (2.23 ERA/3.20 FIP, 0.92 WHIP) Continue to Article

The decision to be a buyer or seller does not need to be made for four or five more weeks. But if the Mets do not have a surge of winning in the next month, Sandy Alderson ought to become a seller at the trade deadline... A subpar four-game series to start this week at Dodger Stadium could further bury the Mets, since Los Angeles currently is even with the Diamondbacks for the wild-card positions at 44-26, one game behind the NL West-leading Rockies, who are also 46-26... The Mets have made the decision to sell before under Alderson, so it would not be unprecedented. They sent Carlos Beltran to the Giants for then-prospect Zack Wheeler in 2011. And, in 2013, Alderson traded veterans Marlon Byrd Continue to Article

The Diamondbacks and Rockies, who are currently leading the NL Wild Card race, are on pace to both win what would be a Wild Card-record-setting 100 games. This is why, despite winning six of their last 10 games, the Mets still lost ground in their pursuit of a third-straight postseason appearance. To end this season with 100 wins, the Mets would need to go 69-25 the rest of the year, which is a .734 winning percentage.

Just how many times can we declare the Mets' season is on the brink before the calls seem hollow? Well, here we go again. After gaining four games on first-place Washington in a one-week span, the Mets took a step backward in Thursday's series opener against the Nationals with an 8-3 loss. The defeat dropped the Mets' record to 30-35 and left them 9½ games behind Washington in the division and 10 games back in the wild card. Now, the Mets are slated to face Max Scherzer on Friday and Stephen Strasburg on Saturday. They will face those electric arms following the latest dispiriting flood of injury reports that includes Neil Walker estimating he will be out a month with a left hamstring tear, Noah Continue to Article
