The New York Mets waited until the very last day of the regular season to clinch a postseason berth but just because it came down to that doesn’t mean the sixth-seeded team should be overlooked.
After all, they took down the Philadelphia Phillies in four games and many so-called experts predicted the Phillies to be dueling the Los Angeles Dodgers for the National League pennant.
The Dodgers finished the season with MLB’s best record and secured a five-game NLDS victory over a strong San Diego Padres team, but no team has maintained a hotter streak than the Mets.
