The Mets are playing like a team that wants to make the playoffs, as you could see the excitement in yesterday’s win over Boston. New York now sits just a half game out in the wild card race with David Peterson set to take the mound. Peterson is the model of consistency, entering with an ERA of .283. He’s given up more than 2 earned in just 2 of his 16 starts this season, and the Mets have won the past 5 times he’s taken the mound. Boston trots out Kutter Crawford, who is solid but far from unhittable, and the Red Sox’ bullpen is terrible once he exits. This is also a fade of Boston’s offense, which has plated just 1 run in each of their past 3 games. New York makes it 6 wins in a row from Citi Field tonight. Take the Mets.
