On the morning of June 3, the Mets were 10 games under .500 and four games out of the final Wild Card spot in the National League. Since then, they won nine of 11 heading into Monday night's series opener. A lot of people forget that this game is hard and you are going to go through struggles, and you have to find a way to stay positive, even when it's hard, manager Carlos Mendoza said.
In theory, the Mets do not have much business being in such an advantageous position. Major League Baseball adding a third Wild Card team has created critics questioning if the postseason should be reserved for the elite.
