The Mets have an interesting dilemma with their starting rotation ahead of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. On the one hand, they can fill four starting spots with reliable pitchers who have all turned in admirable postseason performances, far better than what the Dodgers can offer.
And if they really want to get crazy with it, they can add another three pitchers currently lodged in the bullpen that could make a postseason start if pressed. That’s seven (!) potential starters the Mets could turn to—truly an embarrassment of riches at a point in the season where playoff teams are often scrambling for healthy arms.
