There are two baseball teams in New York going through it a little right now. The past two weeks have been extraordinary slogs for both of them, and there is still plenty of baseball season left to make full recoveries. They each built enough of a cushion across 2 ½ months to stay in play.
But if you had to pick which one will surely halt the rising tide and fully recover, which would you select?
It says here: the Yankees.
The Mets season has been an eerie inverse of last year, when they buried themselves early, got hot in June and never stopped firing. This June has been much different, but it actually tracks. The Mets lugged an 802-912 all-time record in June into Wednesday’s game against the Braves, and last year’s 16-8 June was the team’s second-best June ever, behind 1990’s 21-7.
