You know I was giving it more thought as to what you said about what my response would be or yada yada yada. Hhere is a plain and simple reason I feel the Mets are NOT vastly Superior. It is not hard. You can't base a team on just their starting pitching. The starters do not pitch the whole game in most cases. It is a team game. Now here is where it gets very simple. Mets have scored 693 runs. Phillies have scored 679 That is a difference of 14 runs scored that the mets are in the plus. Now Mets givin up 609 runs and Phillies have givin up 585 for a difference of 24. The Mets have givin up 24 more runs as a team. Thats not a team that is vastly Superior. So it doesn't matter that they came back from 7.5 games behind. The average shows they should be very close together in the standings. Now guess what, they are. It shows that overall when it counts Phillies pitching has been slightly better and the Mets bats are even more just slightly better overall than the phillies. I am talking overall as a team. Not just a starting pitcher.
