Mets at a glance: 90-72, first place in National League East, clinched division title and playoff berth on Sept. 26.
Three things to watch:
1. Yoenis Cespedes. How hard is it to pitch to the 29-year-old center fielder? Among all Mets players with at least 10 at-bats in September and October, Cespedes owns the highest slugging percentage against both lefties (.762) and righties (.652).
2. Matt Harvey’s elbow. For about 48 hours in September, all of New York was wondering whether Harvey’s 2015 season innings limit would keep him from pitching in October. Now he’s here and starting Game 3, but that doesn’t mean his workload to this point in the season isn’t an issue.
