Less than a week ago, the San Diego Padre had the best record in baseball, and their 17-8 record is still the second best in the league. However, an 8-2 record the last ten games has allowed the New York Mets to surge to a league best 18-7 record. While the record setting Juan Soto contract was the big story of the offseason, he's gotten off to a slow start, he's hitting just .233/.364/.389. Instead, the offense has been powered by the red hot bats of Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, backed up by an extremely solid starting rotation and bullpen.
