The Mets will likely miss the expanded playoffs with the best offense in the league, arguably the best pitcher in the league, and a top-3 closer.

  • Their 121 wRC+ is tied with the Braves for first place. The three other teams in the top five are the Dodgers, Padres, and Yankees.
  • Their top five hitters (Conforto/Nimmo/Smith/Cano/McNeil) have combined for a 152 wRC+ (.312/.391/.531!)
  • Jacob deGrom leads the NL in K/9 (13.4), xFIP (2.43), and is second in fWAR (2.6).
  • Edwin Diaz: 1.57 ERA/47 K%!!



They currently have a 3% chance of making the playoffs according to Fangraphs. Staggering.
