For the first time in what feels like forever, the Mets’ bullpen is starting to get a little bit of rest. Following an eight-game stretch in just seven days to clinch a playoff spot and defeat the Brewers in the Wild Card round, the team has gotten a couple of much-needed off days ahead of and during this NLDS against the Phillies.
Throw in Sean Manaea’s seven innings of work in Game 3, Luis Severino’s six innings in Game 2, and the five innings that the Mets got from the duo of Kodai Senga and David Peterson in Game 1, and the bullpen has had a pretty normal workload over the past few days.
