Can the Red Sox Seal a Rare Sweep and Silence the Mets’ Comeback Hopes?

The Mets have had a tough schedule lately, and it might be showing on why they have stumbled a bit. Over their past five games, they are just 1-4 over the past five games, having lost two games each to the Red Sox and Yankees. The biggest problem over these five games is that the Mets offense has absolutely disappeared. They have scored two or fewer runs in each of the four losses, and they only mustered three runs in their one win against the Yankees. Teams stumble, and we are starting to get into the portion of the season where you don’t notice the bad stretches as much. They are still 29-20, and looking to get 10 games over .500 with a win here. In order to do so, they send out Tylor Megill to the hill with a 3-4 record and a 3.74 ERA, and a 1.38 WHIP. Megill has struggled on the road with a 5.25 ERA in five starts. Red Sox hitters haven’t seen much of him, but appear to like what they’ve seen as they have five hits in 12 at-bats against him.
