A New York World Series?
While the Pinstripes have secured a Division Title and by extension, a postseason berth, the New York Mets are preparing to commence their Wild Card series against the San Diego Padres. All through the league, the Mets looked like they were comfortably ranking in the National League East Division. However, a Braves surge in the latter half of the season negatively impacted the Mets. Now, while the World Series may feel farther away, the possibilities are endless.
