Mets getting back in playoff race is not going to be easy

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. 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.
