The Padres opened and closed the season with 6-3 losses to the Dodgers.
The series is loaded with exceptional starting pitching. It all begins with Jacob deGrom-Clayton Kershaw. New York had not been back to the playoffs since…. Los Angeles has not won a pennant since….
It was very classy of the Mets players and coaching staff to slowly walk around Citi Field thinking fans for their support following Sunday’s regular season finale. 500 on the road at 41-40.
Dodgers hitters have been successful against Game 3 starter Matt Harvey. Greinke beat Harvey 4-3 on the Fourth of July…. Kershaw was perfectly Kershawian, striking out 11 and taking a flawless game bid into the seventh inning. Reed has looked sharp in a Mets uniform since arriving from Arizona and will likely be called upon in the eighth inning.
Not surprisingly, the club announced the Greinke would be going in Game 2.
“He’s a guy who hasn’t played in a while, so he’s a little bit rusty”, manager Don Mattingly said.
In 2014, they did it again, this time down two games to one against the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLDS. One out later, Upton Jr. doubled to right-center field. The Mets’ bullpen gave up two additional runs in the ninth, but the game was sadly quite out of reach when they were down just 1-0.
The data shows Three Days Rest is high risk and, sometimes, huge reward. He cruised through the first two rounds, and lost by just one in the finals, to home crowd favorite Todd Frazier.
The Mets eventually won the game in the ninth after a few soft hits put Lucas Duda on third.
The Mets (89-70), champions of the NL East, wrap at home with three against the Washington Nationals.
The best time of year has finally arrived: postseason baseball, filled with Game 7s and magical moments that become engrained into our memories for years to come. Los Angeles SS Jimmy Rollins served as a guest manager Sunday, thus continuing a team tradition for the final home game of the season….
Clayton Kershaw has been the game’s best pitcher in recent years during the regular season, but has struggled mightily in the postseason. Though he has been a top starter for years, he has set personal bests in wins, ERA and WHIP. The Dodgers led the majors with 21 shutouts….
The team stores at Dodger Stadium are ready with the latest Dodgers gear.
In addition to Uribe, the Mets have been without Steven Matz since he woke up with a stiff back last week. Syndergaard and deGrom each skipped a turn, while Harvey missed two starts and was pulled early from another. The more drama, the more pressure.
In addition, his playoffs numbers are not something to quickly brush over.
In the past two postseasons, Kershaw has allowed a combined 22 runs in six starts, posting a career ERA of 5.12 in five total playoff series.
