The Mets need Zack Wheeler to come up big this afternoon. He's having a really nice season, in his first since having Tommy John surgery in 2015. However, having won four of their last six games, but losing a brutal one last night, a win today is important.
For starters, a win would get the Mets back on track instead of flying to Atlanta wondering if they're about to start another massive slide in the standings. But, more important, it kicks June off in a positive way, and lets them leave town, fly and re-enter facing the NL East in good spirits.
