If this team makes (and wins) the World Series, they are going to to do it mostly on the backs of their offense. Naturally, I don’t feel nearly as confident about the starting pitching going into this year’s playoffs as I did a year ago. 480 (12-for-25) with four homers and a double over the final eight games of the regular season. Just when it looked like things couldn’t get any worse for him, the switch flipped in a big way, as Bruce hit. Collins even pinch-hit Eric Campbell in a critical moment against the Braves back on September 20.

Jose Reyes last reached the postseason as a member of the 2006 New York Mets who lost in the NCLS.
(It’s nice, however, that the 2000 Mets’ World Series opponents will be spending October at home.) In any event, we’re sure the Mets will be on the road in Game 1 and that no matter how the Fall Classic ends, a Met will certainly be named Most Valuable Player.
Though the American League champion could still be one of six(!) teams before the games start on Sunday afternoon, it’s possible the World Series features the same teams as in 1986 or 1969. It’s unknown how many games it’ll take for the Mets to beat the Cubs in the Division Series, and whether the Mets will beat the Dodgers or the Nationals in the NLCS.
