These Mets, they are one of the premier teams in baseball in 2022.
Despite ending the first half on a losing note, they finished their splendid start to the season with a 58-35 record, second in the National League behind the Dodgers, and fourth in all of baseball, behind the Yankees, Dodgers and Astros, in that order. Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom have taken a combined 11 starts, and thrown a combined 69 innings — with deGrom contributing a whopping zero starts and zero innings to that total — and they are one of the elite teams in the league anyway.
