Analysis Summary
The Mets extended their losing streak to 10 games with a loss to the Cubs on April 18, marking the longest skid in franchise history since 2004. Only four MLB teams have ever lost 10+ consecutive games and still made the playoffs—the most recent being the 2025 Guardians—and only the 1951 Giants managed the feat with a losing streak starting in April, which makes the Mets' April timing historically grim for their playoff odds. With 5½ months left, they'd need to duplicate the Giants' miracle comeback to stay alive.
