Surging Mets suddenly look comparable to Shohei Ohtani’s Dodgers in early-season shock
NY Post
LOS ANGELES — In the early tale of the tape between MLB’s two best-paid* teams (see below for explanation of exactly who’s first and who’s second), the transition-time Mets look shockingly comparable to the overwhelming World Series-favored Dodgers.
The suddenly streaking Mets are maybe even a little better so far.
A rundown of key categories actually gives a slight and surprising edge to the Mets, who arrived here early Thursday morning for a three-game series feeling pretty good about themselves. Here goes.
Record: The Dodgers were 12-9 coming in, the Mets 10-8. It couldn’t be closer considering the Dodgers played three more games. Edge: Even.
Strength of schedule: The Mets have only played teams that are .500 or better — 18 for 18! — while the Dodgers have played only losers save for a three-game series with the Cubs, which they lost. Edge: Mets.
Overall performance: The Mets had a plus-14 run differential, the Dodgers plus-12. Yep, the celebrity-studded Dodgers are playing no better than the team from Queens, who are aiming for 2025 and beyond. Edge: Even.
