New York Mets Jon Heyman It’s almost impossible to see way for disappointing Mets flip this ugly script By Jon Heyman Published May 15, 2026, 11:33 p.m. ET New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (13) reaches first on an infield single during the second inning during the Subway Series at Citi field in the Queens, New York, USA, Friday, May 15, 2026. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST The last time the Mets beat a winning team, it wasn’t this month. Nor was it even last month.
No sir, we have to go all the way back to March 30 to find such a worthy victory. When the Mets prevailed over the upstart Cardinals in that late-March matchup, all was right in Queens. That seems like a lifetime ago.

When the Mets won that day, they were 3-1, with all three wins coming against teams that have surprised us from the surprising NL Central. Since that day, the Mets are 0-12 vs. winning teams, including the 5-2 defeat Friday night to the Yankees in the Subway Series opener at a surprisingly sedate Citi Field. Yes, that’s right, that’s zero wins and 12 defeats vs. winning teams in their last 12.
I hate to be blunt, but this isn’t a very good Mets team. And unfortunately, it’s a very unlucky one too.
