Two seasons ago, the New York Mets shocked the majors world by making a run at the World Series. Although they lost, the Mets showed the league that they have one of the most talented rotations in recent memory. There’s no doubt that New York’s staff has carried them to back-to-back playoffs, but the batting needs to do their share this season.
Last year, the Mets saw themselves below .500 late in August. But New York’s pitching went on a tear, leading the team to a 27-13 record to close out the season, bringing them a National League Wild Card berth.
