last night's win

Nothing is running away in either direction. Last night's 4-run victory is the freshest data point. Pulling the other way, averaging only 2.4 runs a game. The offense is the weak link.

Mets News

The restructured New York Mets look to bounce back as they face the Cleveland Guardians for the first time since a significant trade deadline overhaul. With Sean Manaea on the mound, sporting a 4.42 ERA, the Mets desperately need his arm to stabilize their rotation after a rough stretch. They showed promise by hitting three home runs in a recent win, but consistency remains elusive. The new faces, including Cristian Pache and Nate Lavender, add intrigue, but they also signal a new era for a team that has struggled to find offensive rhythm, averaging only 1.6 runs per game over the last week. If the Mets hope to claw their way back into relevance, they must capitalize on this fresh start against a Guardians team fighting for a Wild Card spot.
