Here’s today’s game:

You get a chance to snap your fingers and one aspect of your team will be changed. There are no guarantees to the change. There is no insurance that, by making the change, things will get better. But let’s be honest: If you’re moved to ask for this kind of assistance in the first place, things are almost certain to be somewhat better.

By 5 percent.

By 10 percent.

Maybe more.

You don’t have to be Jim Rockford (google him, kids) to figure out where the first part of this exercise is headed. What is becoming one of the more unique sports questions around here in a long time is this:

How good would the Mets be with a different bullpen?

It’s a fascinating question for a number of reasons. For one, the rotation has performed below expectations, but it is still, generally, a strength. And the lineup, though it has some inconsistencies (with the notable exception that Robinson Cano consistently hits third against all rhyme, reason and ration), has a solid and mostly young core built around Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso, Michael Conforto and Amed Rosario.

But the bullpen? As the ancient philosophers might have put it: “Oy.”

We aren’t talking about replacing the Mets’ pen with the Yankees’ one, which mostly still allows the team to focus on getting a lead after six innings. What if the pen were merely “disappointing?” What if, instead of the 20 saves it has blown through Friday, it was just 11 — still an extraordinarily high number for the midway point, but enough that they’d be at .500 instead of nine below?

You’d take that, right?

Fun game, right?

How about if we take the same formula to the Giants’ offensive line the past two years. Again, no need to make it radically better. No need to import the boys-will-be-boys Cowboys line of the ’90s, or the Packers’ granite wall of Hall of Famers of the ’60s.

Again, what if instead of epically (if not historically) bad, the Giants’ O-line the past few years was just … bad? Just enough to give Eli Manning an extra half-second or so every few snaps, enough to let him let fly without fear of being murdered? How about if Saquon Barkley were able to work his magic with a little bit of help from his friends, instead of being one of the great solo performers since Eric Clapton picked up a guitar?

You’d take that right?

Some parts of the game are too easy. A Knicks fan would agree to anything at all if it meant reshuffling the deck, seeing what came up (and yes, I suspect that would be the case even if it meant tossing RJ Barrett into the show).

But some are the other way, since it isn’t just bad teams that can play the game. There hasn’t been a lot that’s ailed the Yankees this year, after all. They are in London with a 53-28 record and a seven-game lead in the AL East after beating the Red Sox 17-13. They have played almost perfect baseball for three months. But they are not a perfect team. All fans have to fret about something, and so for Yankees fans, that one’s the rotation.

Now this is where it gets tricky: Would you snap your fingers and see what happens there? On the one hand, if you snap those fingers the right way, there’s a chance what you get on the other side is Max Scherzer magically appearing in there, or Madison Bumgarner, or even Justin Verlander — regardless of what the other four-fifths looks like. Do you trust fate to get you an ace more than you trust Brian Cashman?

I thought it was positively gentlemanly of the Yankees and the Red Sox to treat the first inning of Saturday’s game like the London Cricket Invitational. Let the natives ease into American baseball.

The Mets made the World Series less than four years ago. Why does that seem like a typo every time I type that?

Been spending a lot of time lately in my homeland of Nassau County, and it never fails to amaze just how amazing the view is as you cross the 59th Street Bridge into Manhattan. If you don’t fall in love with Gotham the first time you see that, you might as well live in one of the Dakotas.

We who toil at The Post are all Steve Dunleavy’s spiritual heirs. May we earn our pint glasses every day in his honor.

Frank Keryc: Cardinal Dolan should have performed an exorcism on the Mets and Citi Field when he was there on Thursday. That’s probably the only way to change this team’s (and history) losing ways.
Vac: As a wise man once said: It certainly couldn’t hurt.

Mel Gross

: All this to-do about signing Kevin Durant or not. We all know whatever the Knicks do will be the wrong decision.

Vac:

Why, that’s a ludicrous take because … um … er … uh … OK, maybe not quite so ludicrous.

@ChrisEbert7297: Well, they finally figured out a way for a Red Sox-Yankees afternoon game … send them to Europe.
@MikeVacc: Just wait till they play in Australia in a few years.

Neil Auriccio: Mom, apple pie and baseball (not). MLB scheduled six teams (including the Mets) for off days on the Fourth of July. There is something inherently wrong with not having games on that day! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Vac: But, by all means, let’s “fix” baseball with three-batter minimums and extra innings that begin with a runner on second base.
