The Mets’ best path to 8-2: win two of three against each of the Braves and Rays and then sweep 4 games in Washington against a Nats team that will be playing out the string. It’s not a likely scenario, but certainly possible. Just maybe they can get away with 7-3.

Mets news: They optioned Luis Guillorme to alternate site to activate Franklyn Kilome.

Guillorme has slashed .347/.431/.429 in 58 plate appearances, but they didn't play him regularly & needed a fresh arm.

He can't come back to majors this year unless someone goes on the IL.

Pete Alonso is having a DOWN season, to say the least.

Very reliant on HRs. This season, 12 of his 38 hits are HR... .215/.314/.441 for .754 OPS (106 OPS+ compared to 147 OPS+ last year) with 52 K in 204 PAs.

That's good for -0.4 WAR. NEGATIVE WINS ABOVE REPLACEMENT!!?? #Mets pic.twitter.com/RVFzCKp81b
