The Mets and Yankees are off to an ok start, but are both 1 game under .500. While the Yankees in recent years have started very slow only to win the division or wild card well after the all star break, they mostly took advantage of Boston collapses.
Teams that dominate do one thing and they do it well, they win games in April. The 1990s Atlanta Braves and the late 90s Yankees won tons of games in April, building out a big lead and never looked back.
The Mets and Yankees both lost series this weekend that they should have won. These games may come back to haunt them, last year the Mets lost the playoff spot by 1 win and the Yankees lost the division by a slim margin. Wins in April of last year would have made the difference.
Steve and the Tank are not pushing the panic button, but the teams need to start winning games in April.
