The Mets ran their win streak to 11, tying a franchise record, with a 6-3 win over the Braves Thursday afternoon. It was the third straight sweep for New York, which has won four of the five series it has played en route to the best record in the majors at 13-3. Daniel Murphy opened [...]
In reality, the Mets are probably still the 7th or 8th best team in the National League, but they’ve already collected 10 irrevocable wins, and the 4th, 5th, and 6th best teams in the NL aren’t exactly monsters.
