Even at 55-50 that translates to 87-75 over a full season, a game better than Arizona’s 2023 final wild-card record before the D’Backs went to the World Series, the Mets have a great shot to be in it while battling the Braves, Arizona, San Diego, St. Louis and Pittsburgh for a playoff berth.

Maybe it was somewhat reminiscent of 1969, when the Mets finished 38-11 on their way to making a Miracle.
