You're trying way too hard to oversell it.


Yes, the Mets had it the second hardest it could get (the Braves had it the hardest since they did have to waste pitching in that game 2). And for all of that, the Mets pitching was 100% before today's game (outside of the two SPs who pitched games 1 and 2 of the DS). IOW, they were already exactly even with Philly when it comes to pitching entering today.
