Let’s tap into the NL now, where we have some bitter rivals facing off and another fight for state bragging rights!
Mets vs. Phillies:
Ohhhh boy, this one is going to get JUICY. Just like the Guardians and the Tigers, these teams go way back but have never faced off in the playoffs. This will be their 1,082nd head-to-head, but it’s the first time where all the cards are on the table.
If you can’t believe it, believe it, the Mets are still alive. They’re red hot and they NEVER are out of a ball game. They have one of the best in baseball with Francisco Lindor and the rest of the lineup has really been holding up their end of the bargain. The Phillies on the other hand, have been one of the best teams in baseball throughout the whole year. They have the best pitcher in baseball right now, Zach Wheeler, who’ll start game one. Mr. Philly himself Bryce Harper will be fired up for this one, and so will we.
Dodgers vs Padres: Talk about star power in this one, I mean, the list goes on and on. Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Teoscar Hernandez, Fernando Tatis Jr., Dylan Cease, Yu Darvish, Luis Arraez, Xander Bogaerts, Manny Machado, did I miss anyone?
This will be the first time we see the best player in the MLB in the playoffs as Shohei Ohtani finally gets into the postseason. The Dodgers went all in this year and it has paid off so far, only time will tell if it will in the long run. The Padres on the other hand, actually shed their star player when they traded Juan Soto to the Yankees, but this team hasn’t batted an eye. Who will be the best team in California when it’s all said and done?
