The New York Mets are in first place by 3.5 games heading into the final week of the first half. The All-Star teams have been announced and to the surprise of many, the team has only one player headed to Colorado.
Jacob deGrom, the best pitcher in baseball proven once again by the Mets’ bludgeoning of Gerrit Cole on Sunday, will be the lone member of the club representing the orange and blue.
