In 1988, the Mets beat the Dodgers like rented mules during the regular season. If my memory serves me correctly, the record against the Mets was one win and eleven losses! However, that all changed come playoff time. We all know how it turned out. The Mets were smoked by the obviously outmatched (and undermanned) Dodgers. Maybe the Mets were overconfident. Maybe the Dodgers were just confident. Maybe it was both. That year the Dodgers were 5-5 in their last ten games… and they lost the last game of the season. They were not particularly hot. The series with the Mets went seven games, with the Dodgers winning the 7th game.
