The Mets took an early lead when Mark Vientos hit a two-run homer off Bryce Elder to give David Peterson and the team a Sunday afternoon advantage. Fans projected continued success based on recent performances by Vientos and Peterson. Assumptions that short-term momentum guarantees future wins represent a common fan error. The Mets’ season has been topsy-turvy and stop-start, eroding fans' predictive confidence and affecting mental well-being. The rotation and bullpen show unevenness despite Peterson's strong outing, leaving the team more confounding than consistently reliable.
