Unlike the Cubs, who clinched their NL Division Series win over the Cardinals on Tuesday, the Mets needed five games to decide things against the Dodgers. In addition to forcing them to use starting pitchers Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, Game 5 required the Mets to fly coast-to-coast and back in less than a 48-hour span. Though Collins and several Mets players showed up to Citi Field on Friday for interviews, the team did not mandate a workout. Instead, the Mets encouraged their players to rest.
Given Friday's off-day and a lazy morning Saturday, they don't anticipate fatigue being an issue despite bits of evidence to the contrary.
