There’s still a month left in the MLB regular season, but New York Mets fans have seen this movie before. Even lifelong Mets fan Jerry Seinfeld is already looking for someone to blame.
The Mets held a 10.5-game lead in the NL East standings back on June 1, and since then, they’ve actually played some solid baseball (even with injuries to aces Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer). They held a 52-34 record since June 1, which is good for the sixth-best record in baseball. The problem: The Atlanta Braves went into supernova mode since June 1.
