NEW YORK -- As Max Scherzer prepares to start Game 1 of the wild-card series against the San Diego Padres, New York Mets manager Buck Showalter did not want to reveal his hand too soon about who will start Game 2 for the club.
When asked if the Game 2 starter would be Chris Bassitt with a Mets victory and Jacob deGrom with a loss, Showalter declined to answer the question.
"I'm certainly not going to broadcast that to the Padres," Showalter said. "We'll see what postgame tomorrow brings.
