Sparks saves me some trouble…
in order for the Mets to win 90 games, they have to go 48-30 the rest of the way. 48-30 works out to .615 ball the rest of the way. Only one team in all of baseball has that high a winning percentage at the moment. The A.L. East-leading Yankees, who just took 2 out of 3 from the Mets are only at .610. That one team that’s playing .615 or better? The Phillies, who at 53-32 are roughly one-half game above that percentatge. Essentially, for the Mets to go on to win 90 games, they have to turn into the Phillies the rest of the way.
