The Mets dropped two out of three to the Dodgers in their first series of the second half before bouncing back to take two out of three from the White Sox. But then they once again lost two out of three to the Red Sox over the weekend, demonstrating once again that they are incapable of building any sort of momentum.
Heading into the break, the Mets had several players on fire with the bat—especially Francisco Lindor and Francisco Alvarez. Both of them, especially the former, have cooled off since, as has pretty much everyone else that was hot before the break.
