N.L. East Update: The Mets Are Still In Tournament Contention

Somehow, despite far less than stellar play and with their one full season plus star player, Yoenis Cespedes, the New York Mets have stayed in tournament contention.

Of course, only the bogus wild card is available to them, but that is also the case involving all the other wild card contenders (St.Louis Cardinals, Miami Marlins and Pittsburgh Pirates) save the L.A. Dodgers and San Francisco Giants.

That is because the N.L. Central will go to the top ranked Chicago Cubs and as I speculated despite early season “sloppiness” the N.L. East will go to the Washington Nationals.
