payroll

----------------------------------------------------

Las Vegas - With a $332,881,285 payroll, second only to the Dodgers ($340,777,862), as well as superstar players like Juan Soto, Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, how do the Mets lose seven in a row and 11 of the last 13? Don't ask me to answer, but after last night's win, the arrow is pointing straight up, as long as David Peterson is on the hill for New York. And we need the Braves to send out Carlos Carrasco who has been Ba-bombed in his last two outings, allowing 16 hits and 9 earned runs in just 11 innings of work. Going BIG in the BIG Apple.
