Mets: Baseball's Costly Losers

The New York Mets continue to struggle despite having baseball's second-highest payroll. Currently holding the worst record in the majors at 10-21, they've lost 17 of their last 20 games and are buried at the bottom of the National League East.

Once boasting 87% playoff odds on Opening Day, the Mets now have less than a 30% chance to make October baseball, according to FanGraphs analytics. Their disappointing start has transformed them from baseball's 'lovable losers' to simply its most expensive underachievers. beltedkingfisher.blog
