Will the Mets miss the playoffs?

The more time passes, the more we realize that the Mets like to shoot themselves in the foot. Yesterday again, the pitchers didn't get the job done and the club lost a game that was quite important.

David Peterson was at the heart of a 7-4 loss to the Padres. He gave up six runs in five innings of work.

With a payroll of $340 million, the New York club's lead in the Nationals' final playoff spot is getting slimmer and slimmer. Right now, we're talking a game and a half over the DBacks and two games over the Reds and Giants.

I think the Mets will find a way to stay in the picture between now and next Sunday. However, the fact remains that it's not assured… especially if the club continues to drop games at this rate.

Two wins in their last 10 games… they're not helping themselves, let's say.

With three clubs already qualified (Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Chicago) in the Nationals and teams like Los Angeles and San Diego soon to do so, there are clearly five better clubs than the Mets in this league.

If New York makes the playoffs, it won't last long, let's say.

In the American League, the Houston Astros have managed to regain sole possession of first place in the West. As a result, the Seattle Mariners have slipped to the last playoff spot.

The Guardians are 2.5 games out of the playoffs and I don't see them catching any of the six teams currently in the playoff picture.
