The FOX Sports MLB staff offers its takes on whether Mookie Betts or Shohei Ohtani is the better hitter, the Mets are for real, Pete Alonso will be traded, and more.
Three weeks into the season, the Dodgers and Mets are side by side in the National League standings. Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani are one-upping each other daily, despite the Dodgers dropping five of their past seven games. Pete Alonso is off to a fast start in his walk year, while the Mets have won four consecutive series following an 0-5 start to the season.
José Buttó didn't get much attention on prospect lists over the last couple years, but he has been a revelation through two starts. It looks like this could be a bounce-back year for two-time All-Star Luis Severino, and Sean Manaea is getting more swing-and-miss and chase after two terrific starts . Thosar: Before the season began, I would've pinned the Mets' pitching staff as the X-factor.
