The Mets begin their 2018 season in nine days. My expectation, after watching them this spring, is that this squad is talented enough to get to the postseason.
As it stands, while PECOTA projects the Mets to be a .500 team, FanGraphs.com puts the Mets at 83-79, which would be the fifth-best record in the National League -- giving them a 41.2 percent chance of winning the division or making a wild card spot.
That said, though it will not be easy, I expect more than the above results and I believe most fans, as well as the team's manager, coaching staff and players, also expect more than just 83 wins.
