The Mets’ offense remains inconsistent. Though Saturday’s debacle can be placed solely at the feet of the pitching, the Mets were shut out twice this week—once by Aaron Nola (somewhat understandable) and again by Jesús Luzardo and the Marlins bullpen (less understandable). Francisco Lindor is slumping again and DJ Stewart has run into a cold spell, but J.D. Martinez seems to have found his groove.
We’ll start with J.D. Martinez, who is by far the Mets’ hottest hitter right now. He put up a blistering 225 wRC+ in 26 plate appearances this week, which leads the team.
