In a couple of hours, the AL Wild Card begins. Later this afternoon, the NL Wild Card gets underway, as the last two spots were filled yesterday.
The Mets & Atlanta split a doubleheader, and people are still talking about how the Braves bullpen choked away a 3-0 lead in the 8th......
So, here we go:
Mets @ Milwaukee: The Brewers won 5 of 6, including 2 of 3 over the weekend. The Mets return to beer country to try to pick up where they left off in Sunday's game. Keep in mind that the Brewers don't have their #1 star, Christian Yelich, out for the year. Luis Severino, who pitched in a few playoff games with the Yankees, gets the ball today, with Sean Manaea to follow tomorrow. The Mets enter this series looking to even things out with Milwaukee, and, in this improbable season.....
Pick: Mets in 3.
Atlanta @ San Diego: A Met sweep Monday would've meant a rematch from 2022, but that ain't happening. After an emotional doubleheader split, Atlanta needs to regroup, but can they? It isn't enough that Philadelphia ended the Braves' run of 6 straight division titles. The Phils don't want to see the Braves the rest of the year. With Chris Sale questionable due to back spasms, the Braves' already battered rotation is in deep trouble, and the Padres would like a shot at revenge against Philadelphia.
Pick: San Diego in 3.
Of course, I could be wrong.
