Mets & Phillies: Race Against History

The New York Met's and Philadelphia Phillies are both stuck at 9 wins and 19 losses after 30 games this season. That's a sub. 400 winning percentage, a hole that's buried almost every team since 1990. History shows these squads rarely sniff the playoffs, needing elite play just to hang around.

The Houston Astros sit at 11 and 18, echoing their own 2024 comeback from 7 and 18, while the Kansas City Royals at 11 and 17 fight to keep their young core steady.
