I took a very conservative approach to these calculations and I can't find a real opening for the Mets to go on a 8+ winning streak. In my estimation the longest streak the Mets have the potential of making is a 4-5 game win streak from when they leave Arizona leading into the home series against the Giants.
Here's my breakdown of the remaining series:
| Series | Wins | Losses |
| Cardinals | 1 | 1 |
| San Diego | 2 | 2 |
| Arizona | 2 | 1 |
| San Fran | 3 | 1 |
| Atlanta | 2 | 1 |
| Philly | 1 | 3 |
| Florida | 1 | 2 |
| Chicago | 1 | 2 |
| Colorado | 2 | 1 |
| Chicago | 1 | 2 |
| Florida | 2 | 1 |
| Philly | 1 | 3 |
| Atlanta | 1 | 2 |
| Washington | 3 | 0 |
| Atlanta | 1 | 2 |
| Florida | 1 | 2 |
| Washington | 2 | 1 |
| Houston | 2 | 1 |
| Total | 29 | 28 |
Not exactly the year we all had planned for this team, but injuries, disappointment and some questionable roster moves can change the scope of a season.
For those still hoping that the Mets can make a run at the Wild Card, I'd estimate that the Mets have to win 91 games in order to do that. Here's the type of schedule the Mets would have to have to accomplish that:
| Series | Wins | Losses |
| Cardinals | 2 | 0 |
| San Diego | 3 | 1 |
| Arizona | 3 | 0 |
| San Fran | 3 | 1 |
| Atlanta | 2 | 1 |
| Philly | 2 | 2 |
| Florida | 2 | 1 |
| Chicago | 1 | 2 |
| Colorado | 2 | 1 |
| Chicago | 2 | 1 |
| Florida | 2 | 1 |
| Philly | 2 | 2 |
| Atlanta | 2 | 1 |
| Washington | 3 | 0 |
| Atlanta | 2 | 1 |
| Florida | 2 | 1 |
| Washington | 3 | 0 |
| Houston | 3 | 0 |
| Totals | 41 | 16 |
Basically the Mets would have to win every series but one and then split the two series against the Phillies. As you can see that's a pretty tough scenario to consider realistic.
