What’s left to watch for in the final week of a dreadful Mets season

The New York Mets are entering the final week of a difficult season with six remaining away games against the Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals. While the team has already been eliminated from postseason contention, several individual storylines remain active. Right fielder Carson Benge recently tied Pete Alonso's franchise rookie hits record of 155 during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Both Carson Benge and Nolan McLean remain in the National League Rookie of the Year conversation as underdogs. Their chances have improved due to recent struggles and injuries from competitors, including Cincinnati's Sal Stewart and St. Louis' JJ Wetherholt. The final stretch of games will provide these rookies with a chance to finish their campaigns strongly.
