The Mets closed out a rotten series with the Phillies Thursday afternoon by being swept. Meantime the Dodgers were busy splitting their four-game set with the Giants, leaving the teams tied in the quest for home field advantage in the NLDS. Except they are not really tied — the Mets are a game ahead.
The Mets won the season series from the Dodgers 4-3, which means if the teams end the season tied, the Mets get the home field. So really, they have a one game lead.
