The New York Mets are known for many things. One of those fixable reputations they could fix is how poorly constructed their Sunday lineups are.
The finale on July 23rd against the Chicago Cubs already looks like one of those “punt” lineups. With Jacob deGrom on the mound against lefty Cole Hamels, the Mets are sitting Michael Conforto and Jeff McNeil. Instead of having the best outfield possible, the team will go with J.D. Davis in left field, Juan Lagares in center field, and Carlos Gomez in right field.
