The MLB playoffs are approaching and the Mets know that their recent results have not been as expected. The planning of a new strategy for the MLB postseason is fundamental to improve the performance of the team. One person who is very clear about this is a former New York executive, who revealed the key to the Mets‘ success.
Exalting the recent 8-3 victory over the San Diego Padres is just an attempt to gloss over the current situation of Carlos Mendoza’s team. Thanks to a recent and brutal streak of eight losses, the Mets are only 1.5 games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks for the last National League wild-card spot

Former MLB executive Jim Bowden shared his thoughts on the situation during an appearance on the Foul Territory podcast. In his opinion, the Mets’ success depends on the performance of their pitching staff, specifically the rotation.
