Today, inside my 3 Things I Think Video, I focus on how the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/25/sports/mets-top-cubs-to-maintain-slim-lead-in-battle-for-final-nl-wild-card-spot/">Mets are actually in a good place</a> in that the teams that are chasing them aren’t really that good.

The key to this weekend for the Mets: just get in.

I’m also thinking about the Yankees and the fact that Carlos Rodon and Max Fried have performed like aces in the wake of Gerrit Cole being lost for the 2025 season.

Both have taken turns being superstars in the Pinstripes’ rotation.
