"MY" Mets are 9-1 in their last 10. Giants are 4-6 in their last 10. Mets now have the best record since break and are .5 GB of Giants. Fangraphs has the Giants at just a 5% chance to make playoffs. Mets are now a 20% proposition.
The Giants remaining schedule has a .531 win percentage. The next most difficult schedule among wild card contenders is the .512 the Cardinals face. The Nationals, Phillies, and D-Backs all have under .500 opponent records remaining.
The Giants should have traded Bumgarner and Smith. I get why they didn't, but that doesn't mean it was a smart choice.
