The run the New York Mets have been on in the second half has been remarkable. The Mets are 25-10 in the second half and that has catapulted them into playoff contention. What’s even more surprising is how they’ve done it.
Over the last week and a half, the Mets have played the Nationals, Braves, Royals and now, the Indians. That’s three teams in playoff spots and the Royals, and in those games, they have been missing numerous starters. Over half of those games have been played without Jeff McNeil, who has been one of the Mets best players this season.
