Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
The divisional round of the MLB playoffs is proving to be harder fought than the Wild Card series were. Both ALCS are tied at a game apiece, but the Wild Card winners have opened up 2-1 leads against the top seeds in both NLCS.
The Mets became the first team poised to clinch a Championship Series berth behind a gem from Sean Manaea yesterday with a 7-2 win over the Phillies. It’s been a wild ride lately for the Mets, who clinched a Wild Card spot on the last day of the regular season and have made some spectacular comebacks en route to their present opportunity to win a divisional series in New York.
