The New York Mets are currently enduring a 12-game losing streak, struggling significantly with their offense. Despite the anticipated return of Juan Soto from injury, who has a career average of 0.635 runs batted in per game, the Mets have scored only 22 runs during this streak, averaging 1.83 runs per game. This puts them at the bottom of the league in offensive performance, with the lowest on-base percentage and fewest home runs. Players like Francisco Lindor emphasize the need for the entire team to step up rather than relying solely on Soto for a turnaround. The Mets must find a way to win games to break the cycle of defeat and avoid making history as the first team to lose 12 straight games and still make the postseason.
