Now, Davis is taking ground...

The Mets managed to win 86 games in 2019 and finished 10 games over .500. But can you imagine if their bullpen was just semi-good?

A ridiculous run during the second half has essentially saved the New York Mets’ season, giving them a chance to fight for a playoff spot down the stretch. This wouldn’t have been possible without a number of players encountering the same kind of good fortune with their individual performances.
