Note: Mets Remaining Schedule

by Mike Nichols on August 29th, 2008 at 8:53 am

Adam Rubin of the Daily News examines the Mets remaining scheduled and determines with their favorable matchups the Mets may be poised for a big September run.

For the record here is the Mets remaining opponents and their record against them:

  • Marlins (6 games): 7-5
  • Brewers (3 games): 1-2
  • Phillies (3 games): 10-5
  • Nationals: (6 games): 8-4
  • Braves (6 games): 5-7
  • Cubs (4 games): 0-2

To win the National League East, I think the Mets need to have at least 91 wins. Meaning, the Mets would need to go 17-11, a .607 winning percentage, over their final 28, which is very doable against their remaining opponents.

Although, if you remember, the Mets had a very similar schedule last September and we know how that turned out. However, I believe this is a different team and will not let that happen this season.

These last 28 games should be exciting and very intense. Enjoy the ride.
