At least New York has the Knicks, right? The New York Mets, who are trying to buy a championship in their own way, are below .500 and look like they probably will not make the postseason.Anything is possible and there is still plenty of time, but there is no denying that this team is underperforming significantly.
They are 32-40 for the season with a 14-22 record on the road.CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEFrancisco Lindor of the New York Mets is on the field during the game against the Cincinnati Reds at Citi Field in New York, N.Y., on July 19, 2025.(Michael Mooney/MLB Photos via Getty Images)The starting pitching is doing its job.
Collectively, the staff has a 3.85 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP.The hitting has them at just .230 for the season.
Today the starter will be Kodai Senga, who has some ugly numbers but he also hasn't pitched since April, so most of those are inflated because he hasn't put in enough work to lower them.In his first two starts, he went 11.2 innings and allowed four earned runs total.
In his next three starts, he went 8.1 innings and allowed 16 earned runs.Reds hitters are just 3-for-20 against Senga. The Cincinnati Reds are currently floundering around that .500 record.
They are 34-37 for the season with an 18-18 record at home.They made the postseason last year, and if they have hopes of doing it this year, they probably will need to do it via a Wild Card berth again.
I think the Reds are one of those teams that have some pieces, but really need a hot streak to make it work out.They had one at the start of the season, getting to 20-11.
Unfortunately for them, they've gone 14-26 since that stretch. ZERO BS.JUST DAKICH.
