MLB's Most Expensive Losers: Mets

The Mets wrapped April by losing 5-4 to the Washington Nationals, dropping to a major league-worst record. Despite being in last place in the National League East, they somehow remain even worse than their wealthy rivals, the Philadelphia Phillies.

Their postseason hopes have dramatically diminished, with playoff chances falling from 87% on Opening Day to less than 30% according to FanGraphs. The team has lost 17 of their last 20 games, making their current 52-win pace unsustainable and putting October baseball in serious jeopardy. amunra.help
