Mets' Season Peaks with Key Series Against Orioles

The New York Mets have experienced a tumultuous season, starting with five consecutive losses before rebounding to finish April with a winning record. However, May proved disastrous, with the team posting a 9-19 record. Despite a strong showing in July, recent defeats, including a series loss to the Oakland Athletics and a disappointing performance against the Seattle Mariners, have raised concerns about the team's consistency. The Mets managed to secure a series win against the struggling Miami Marlins, but a lackluster 3-2 loss in the final game of the series highlighted ongoing issues. Looking ahead, the Mets face a critical juncture as they prepare to host the Baltimore Orioles, who are also not at their peak performance. The Mets hope to capitalize on this opportunity, especially with the potential return of key players like Kodai Senga, who is recovering from a calf strain, and Luis Severino, who recently showcased his capabilities with a complete-game shutout. The team is aiming for a playoff spot, and their performance in the coming weeks will be crucial.
