LOS ANGELES -- We've seen the Dodgers go through slumps this season on offense, but that is all relative. The Mets come to town for a weekend series if anything to prove that if you pick the correct fence, the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
The Mets' offense looks more like grass that hasn't been watered in weeks.
New York is hitting .232/.296/.358 as a team, which seems like a typo. I did a double take when I saw that batting line. I tend to focus quite a bit on the Dodgers, so there are often times where I miss the forest for the trees, but I like to think I have a fairly decent handle on what's going on around the rest of baseball.
