You’d probably think the latter squad would have the clear advantage…until I told you that team was the 2026 New York Mets. Facing a Boston Red Sox team that suffered through multiple travel issues en...

To be more precise, the Mets got consistent production from the lineup throughout the entire three-game series. And we haven’t been able to say that all too often this year. Were it not for a bullpen implosion, then the Mets might have secured a first series sweep since the end of...
