📊 Analyst Note

**Overperforming**: Based on their run-differential, the Mets' Pythagorean win percentage sits at 62.1%, above the 50.0% baseline. Their run-differential suggests they are a legitimately elite team. Compared to the NL average Pythagorean win rate, the Mets are +7.8 percentage points ahead.

About the M-Score Model

The M-Score (Mets Power Ranking) is a proprietary composite metric designed to evaluate MLB team strength across four key dimensions: Offensive Efficiency (wRC+, 30%), Pitching Efficiency (FIP, 30%), On-Base + Slugging (OPS, 20%), and Base-Traffic Control (WHIP, 20%). A higher M-Score indicates a stronger overall team relative to the rest of the National League.
