Anything less than a sweep feels like failure

If the Mets sweep the lowly White Sox (and I've learned to be fearful of teams called "lowly") and the Braves lose the next three to the first-place Phillies, neither of which are implausible scenarios, the Mets will wake up on September 2 tied for the third Wild Card berth.



Even if it doesn't turn out exactly that way, the Mets do have an opportunity here to make up some much-needed ground.

Yeah, bad teams win a lot. Even the 2024 White Sox have managed to win 31 times. And each win was against a team currently ahead of them in the standings. Fifty-eight percent of their wins have come at home. They've even shut out their opponents five times.



One game at a time.

Tonight the Sox have the pitching advantage. Statistically anyway. I don't really know much about Cannon except he has a great name.

I am kahnfident the Mets can win three against the Pale Hose one game at a time



Beyond that I don't often get to watch the White Sox play very often and am looking forward to this series

The ChiSox have won a hair over 26% of their home games this year. So using that as a guide, the Mets have a 74% of winning each game. But to get to a sweep you have to go W - W - W where there's a slightly better than 1/4 chance of losing each ... or .74 x .74 x .74 = .405124

So a 40% chance of a sweepage given those generic parameters.

And here's who will be trying to sweep the first game.



Nimmo and Vientos swapped in the lineup, making Vientos the newest resident of the three-hole.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it was the White Sox doing the sweeping of this series. And if the Mets were out of it, playoff-wise, I'd probably be rooting for a White Sox sweep. I'm one of those Mets fans that wants the Mets to hold their 120 loss record.

Two out of three lost to the Angels and A's this month. Not a trend to be continued.

First thing is helping ourselves, and we've fallen behind and gotten Winkie shaken up.



Highest OPS in the Sox' lineup is .679. Lowest OPS in the Mets lineup is .699, so our spreads barely touch.

This is the second time the Mets made two appeals on one play, and the outcome was split.



Kind of a loophole in the rules.
