Nothing is going right for the New York Mets.
Yesterday, we talked about the fact that the New York team was possibly on the verge of missing the playoffs. And let's just say that Steve Cohen's club didn't help itself yesterday.
Even though the Mets had taken a 4-0 lead against Jesus Luzardo (Phillies) in the first inning, the Philadelphia pitcher got his act together afterwards: he gave nothing away all game. Nor did his reliever.
Meanwhile, the forward got up and scored six runs.
The result? The Phillies swept their four-game series against their division rivals. This gives them an 11-game lead in the division with less than three weeks to go. #Formality
And more than ever, the Mets are at risk of missing the playoffs.
The Reds and Giants, who weren't playing yesterday, won a half-game over the Mets. Both teams are currently a game and a half behind the Mets in the Nationals standings.
And the Reds even have the advantage in the tie-breaker against New York.
The other top five teams in the Nationals have a good chance of staying in the playoffs by the end of the season – even if San Diego has to watch itself a bit. But the Mets? Nothing less certain.
Remember that Jacob deGrom will face his former team tonight in New York. The Padres, Nationals, Cubs and Marlins are also in play between now and the end of the regular season for the Mets.
