The New York Mets and Chicago Cubs both entered 2015 with a lot of young talent in the system, but the consensus was that each team was likely still another year away from proper contention. You know kids though, they hate to wait for anything. The Mets were supposed to be far behind Washington, but the Nationals collapsed and the Mets won the East comfortably. The Cubs were supposed to be overmatched by the sport's premier franchise of the 21st century, St. Louis. The Cardinals did win the Central, but the Cubs won 97 games during the regular season and dispatched their longtime rivals in the first ever postseason series between the two teams.
