Pete Alonso says “It’s unlikely” the Mets end up clinching a playoff spot.
He’s not wrong…whatsoever.
The Mets are 26-38 after the All-Star Break and have lost six of their last seven games.
They’re 7.0 games back of the National League East-leading Braves and 8.5 games back in the NL Wild Card race with 11 to play.
The season is likely a lost cause, but the Amazins will still attempt to notch a late-season victory over the Red Sox Wednesday night.
Taijuan Walker takes the mound for New York.
