Anything can happen in a short series. The Phillies were six games ahead of the Mets in the regular season, but they just beat them 3 games to 1 in the Division Series. Francisco Lindor was the hero in last night's game with a grand slam homer. In the NLCS the Mets will play either the Dodgers or Padres who are now tied at two games each in their Division Series.
In 2022 the Padres beat the Mets 2-1 in the Wild Card Series even though all three games were played at Citi Field. In 1988 the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Mets 4-3 in the NL CS.
Let's take a look at the American League. Currently, the Yankees are leading the Kansas City Royals 2-1. The winner will play the winner of the Cleveland-Detroit series.
I would love to see another Subway Series so the Mets can get revenge on the Yankees for the 2000 World Series.
The key for the Mets or any other to win the World Series is to get hot at the right time. Last years World Series participants, the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks were wild card teams. To advance and win the World Series, Lindor, Alonso, and others must stay hot and the pitching must not fall apart.
