Meanwhile, the Mets are on the hunt for solutions. Their bats have gone silent, and that's a problem when you're supposed to be competing in the National League. They're looking for answers, searching for the spark that ignites their lineup. Right now, nothing is clicking, and that kind of offensive drought in April can sink your whole season if you're not careful.

These two teams are heading in completely different directions as we hit the middle of the month. Oakland is celebrating. New York is scrambling. That's the gap between them right now.
