Exactly one third of the season behind them, the Mets are 27-27 — and trying to pinpoint a team strength is a bit of a head-scratcher.
It’s not a case of saying the Mets need to fix just one thing and they will be on their way to success. , but let’s see what this group can accomplish when the rookie catcher is in the middle of an 0-fer and Pete Alonso maybe isn’t hitting a home run every other day. That’s a call to Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil, Starling Marte and Daniel Vogelbach, among others.
It’s a long season, and let’s be honest in this era of three wild-card entrants in each league: You can advance deep into the postseason and have a chance to win the World Series even with a less-than-elite team in the regular season. Exhibit A on that front will be at Citi Field on Tuesday. The Phillies got all the way to Game 6 of the World Series last year after we spent most of the summer dissecting the race between the Mets and Braves.
Justin Verlander missing the first month of the season with a strained major teres before returning to pitch two clunkers in five appearances in May might be at the top of the list. Scherzer had a hellish two months with physical ailments and a suspension. His health will be something to watch. Tylor Megill and David Peterson have regressed, turning what was thought to be a strength as spring training began into something of a weakness.
