The New York Mets are in the middle of a brutal stretch, and it’s starting to show not just on the field, but everywhere around the team. Ever since Juan Soto went down, disaster has struck.
What began as a relatively stable outlook has quickly spiraled. The Mets’ World Series odds have steadily drifted downward over the past few weeks, now sitting around +2200 after opening much shorter. Before the losing streak, they were sitting at +1300 on Fanduel. That kind of movement reflects more than just losses; it shows a growing lack of confidence in where this team is headed. As the truth is, the Mets were bad last year, and they might be heading that way this year.
The losing streak has exposed issues across the board. The offense has gone cold in big spots, struggling to produce with runners in scoring position, while the pitching staff hasn’t been able to stop momentum when things start to unravel. It’s not one problem; it’s everything at once, which is why this skid has felt so overwhelming.
And somehow, it’s gone beyond just baseball. Fans are starting to feel the toll in real time, none more visibly than Frank Fleming. Known for wearing every Mets moment on his sleeve, his reactions during this stretch have gone viral, but they’ve also sparked genuine concern. When the team struggles like this, it doesn’t just show in the standings; it hits the fanbase hard. Frank claims the Mets are not going to win another game this season.
There’s still time to turn things around. It's a long season, but the urgency is real. The Mets need to stop the bleeding soon, not just to stabilize their playoff hopes, but to give their fanbase something to believe in again. We’ll see how the fans respond when the New York Mets return to Citi Field on Tuesday to take on the Twins, but it likely won’t be pretty. This skid has even caused Fanduel, to post a market where you can bet on the Mets next win. Im sure Frank would be advising people to take Mets next win "Not Before 4/28" at 125/1.
