Note: 60-40 over the Next 100 Games
The first-place Phillies are currently playing .600 baseball, and are on pace to win 97 games.
However, if they play just slightly-better than .500 baseball the rest of the season, they’ll still win around 90 games.
This means, at 30–32 today, the Mets may need to go roughly 60–40 over the next 100 games to catch Philadelphia.
The problem, as I suggested in an earlier post, is that the current roster has been unable to play better than .500 baseball over the last 162 games.
Therefore, as I mention in the following video with SNY’s Ted Berg, it may make sense for the Mets to simply make a change for the sake of making a change, which could include side-step moves such as Kenny Lofton or Scott Hatteberg.
The point is, as is, it’s hard to understand how the direction of this team changes with the current group of players.
