The Snakes are 17-5 in August, were 17-8 in July, and 16-11 in June, so 50 - 24 since the end of May totally blows away their sub-.500 start (25-32)
I wonder if their board had a 'SELL EVERYONE' thread going around that time?

They're scoring the most runs in the NL and it's not particularly close, 5.35 RS/G a full 0.4 R/G ahead of the team in 2nd (Dodgers) and 0.59 ahead of us (5th)
Part of that is home field related so as their OPS also tops the NL their OPS+, which brings home field into play, sees them slip slightly behind LAD
And then throw in that they're currently missing a few bangers:
- Ketel Marte has been their best bat all year but we won't see his 930 OPS this week.
- a bit of an off year for 1B Christian Walker but still decent and I believe his career OPS vs the Mets is around 6,000. Either way, he's out too.

Their pitching overall is below average although that's somewhat HF influenced too. 4th most RA/G (4.65) and a 93 ERA+ [Mets = 4.53 / 96]

Their lineup is a lot less formidable with Marte, Walker, and Joc Pederson (.939 OPS but a platoon DH) not in it. We need Manaea to take advantage.

The light switch really clicked on for Jake McCarthy this year. The fact that he's in there against a lefty says a lot.

They are using deadline pickup AJ Puk a lot (0.69 ERA in 13 IP). Dylan Floro had a pair of rough outings and has been used less often.

The Mets road to the post season offers Atlanta as the path of least resistance for now anyway. Mets are pretty far behind the NL West teams

Twenty twenty-three Rookie of the Year Corbin Carroll apparently forgot who he was coming out of camp, and has been recovering his memory, slowly but steadily, as the season has progressed.

Anybody tuning in?

Vientos missed a pfaadt pitch with a runner at second and no outs, but the Mets still lead 2-0.

And it looks like Álvarez may have re-injured his hand, but he's toughing it out.

Two leadoff doubles in two innings, but Álvarez, thumb and all, plates the runner this time.

Arizona pitching coach and 1972 Met watching his pitcher getting beat around.

Y'all are missing some sweet snakehunting. Fast infield here in Arizona and the Mets are getting the ball through.

You missed five straight hits for the Mets.

And an infield hit by J.D. Martinez (?!) knocks Pfaadt ouudt early.

Diamantes sweating through these banana-colored unis is not a pretty sight.

Even the hats look soaked through.

With 12 batters to the plate that inning, and six of them scoring, they're going.

Now we've got to see if Manaea stiffened up during the long layover.

Whoah, that's living dangerously but faithfully.

Manaea looks hard to even touch, but he's through five on 74 pitches, with eight strikeouts, no walks, and only one hit.

Well, two snakehomers in the seventh make it 8-3.

Amazingly, the Diamondbacks have made it to one out in the ninth while using only two pitchers.

And we head to the bottom of the ninth, still up 8-3.

Possibly Brazobán time.
