Keys To A Series Win
Mets need to start hitting long balls again
Yes, you want to see the Mets manufacture runs in ways other than home runs, but it’s easy to understand that’s who the Mets are.
The Mets lineup is mainly a home run hitting team. When they win it’s usually because they hit long balls, and when they don’t, it’s mainly cause they don’t go deep. Whether some fans like it or not, the Mets need to hit home runs in order to get their offense going.
Don’t let Giancarlo Stanton beat you
Stanton is still the Marlins biggest threat as a hitter, particularly power wise. After missing a week due to injury, the Marlins slugger returned on Wednesday. Stanton is off to a slow start average wise, hitting .210 but has 12 home runs and just as the Mets have known in the past, one swing from this guy can instantly change a game, so NY must still be careful with him.
