MLB Teams Struggle in April

0:00It's April 20th, New York Metz news today starts now, AI powered in game ready. I'm Cory with the story. A few weeks into the 2026 MLB season, and teams like the New York Metz, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and Seattle Mariners are off to Rocky Starts. The Metz are the worst hit, sitting at 7 wins and 15 losses dead last in the National League East on an 11 game losing streak. The Phillies, Red Sox, and Blue Jays are all 8 and 13, while the Mariners are 10 and 13. The Metz offense is dead last in runs and on base plus slugging, with stars like Francisco Lindor and Boba-Shet Ice Cold in Juan Soto's sideline. By injury, over in Phillie, the line of scores plenty, ranking third in runs, but their pitchers only 4.84 earned run average, worst in the bay. League for hits allowed, Boston added sunny gray in the off season, but he's hurt now, though their bats rank eighth in scoring. Fans are jittery in these cities, especially New York, where talk of a July trade deadline

Toronto grabbed Dylan Seas, but still feels underwhelming after last year's pen-in, with pitching 23rd in earned run average. Pitching should stabilize for Phillie with Zach Wheeler back soon. Boston has Garrett Crochet's upside, and Seattle's staff with Brian Woo in George. Kirby is too solid to flop long-term. The Mariners big bats like Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh are just slumping early. It's still April, so most of these squads got talent to turn it around quick, but Metz fans might want to sweat a bit more until the bats wake up. Keep watching these divisions heat up.
