Big Market Teams in Basement, Fans Panic

Big-Market Teams Struggle: Red Sox, Mets, Phillies in Basement; Fans Panic Early

The Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies are in a dire situation, all sitting at the bottom of their divisions. The Red Sox, with a 11-17 record, are last in the AL East, while the Mets and Phillies are tied for last in the NL East with 9-19 records. The Mets have been swept in a home doubleheader by Colorado, scoring just one run, and the Phillies have lost eleven of their last twelve games, now trailing Atlanta by ten and a half games. The Red Sox managed to win two of three against Baltimore but still lag behind the Yankees by seven games. Despite their struggles, FanGraphs gives these teams a 33% chance of making the playoffs each. The Mets Francisco Lindor is out for weeks with a calf injury, further hurting their already weak offense. The Red Soxs run differential looks better than it is, thanks to one blowout win. All three teams have talent to rebound before April ends, but next month is make-or-break through Memorial Day. If they dont turn things around soon, digging out of this hole could prove impossible.
