The Mets are 2-7 over their last nine games, and a big culprit is the bullpen. They blew a 6-2 lead over the Braves Tuesday night as hit a walk-off home run in the ninth to win the game for Atlanta. The Mets starters are pitching well in that span, posting a 3.52 ERA with very good three-true outcome numbers. The bullpen is getting knocked around as if they were facing nothing but MVP candidates. They allowed a .338/.416/.547 slash line in 161 batters faced. Five of those losses were by one run, so even a moderately better result would have the Mets in the thick of the division race. Now they need to chase down three teams that are all playing very well.
