NEW YORK -- As the New York Mets prepare to open the second half on Friday in Philadelphia, here are five questions left to be resolved this season:
1. How do the Mets fill the Dark Knight’s rotation spot? Logan Verrett starts on Saturday in Philadelphia, taking a second straight rotation turn in place of Matt Harvey. Verrett will need to produce in that outing. Otherwise, the Mets will seriously weigh dipping to Las Vegas for Gabriel Ynoa or Sean Gilmartin, depending upon whether the Mets want a righty or a lefty.
