NEW YORK — It’s a little too early to tell if it’s a little too late.
There’s time still until the Aug. 1 trade deadline, but there are a slew of teams stacked in front of the Mets for the last wild card spot. Their playoff odds going into Wednesday night’s 5-1 win over the White Sox were at about 15%, according to FanGraphs. They’re still five games under .500, and, in fourth place and 16.5 out of first place Atlanta, the division is far out of reach.
But hope can have teams looking past the odds.
