Beginning today is a three-game face-off with the Phillies at Citi Field in which the Mets can begin a charge up the NL East — or learn they should lower their gaze and focus on the Reds, who are their main wild-card competition.

If they cannot consistently beat good teams — and if matchups with their blood rivals leave them bleeding — where is the hope that they can make October meaningful?
