A short series will help them hide the TBAs in the rotation, but it probably helps SF/LA more.

The Mets don't really have a chance to win without one or two, maybe three catastrophes from other clubs. Never can really rely on a situation like that to pan out because, as we know, just playing really well guarantees nothing when the other clubs play above-.500 ball.
