This is supposed to be a step back season for the Mets, and yet here they are in a bit of an April surge that's going to give their fans hope.
Both teams have a tough road ahead of them if they're going to be serious contenders for Wild Card #3, but the Giants should, theoretically, be better situated to contend as deep into the season as possible on the strength of their starting pitching.
Remarkably, Blake Snell is having a worse start to his season than Sean Manaea did last year for the Giants when they started him in the bullpen as a bulk innings guy.
But if you're a fan that's inclined to root based on projects and processes rather than outcomes, then yes, the Giants will take off soon and the Mets will fade away like they always do.
