Summary
The New York Mets have made significant changes to their roster, including the departure of Pete Alonso and the signing of Bo Bichette, Jorge Polanco, Marcus Semien, and Freddy Peralta. Despite these moves, the team is expected to miss the playoffs, with a projected record of 85-77. Francisco Lindor is likely to miss some time due to injury. The team’s rotation is a concern, and the bullpen is decent but not reliable. The Mets are -310 to make the playoffs, and the author recommends taking the under 90.5 wins and the no bet.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
The Mets are trying to do it right, but it’s just not working out. They’ve made some big moves, but it’s hard to shake off the feeling that they’re just not deep enough.
They had that hot streak, but it was followed by a long losing streak. And don’t even get me started on the injuries.
This team is all about the starting lineup, but what happens when they’re not getting it done?
This season will be all about Luis Robert Jr. staying healthy, but we’ve seen that before.
Original Observation: The Mets are always one big move away from being relevant, but it’s hard to trust them to make it happen.
