With the NLCS between the Mets and Cubs kicking off on Saturday night at Citi Field, it’s time to see what the Rising Apple staff thinks will be in store over the next week.
While the Cubs have shown tremendous power so far in the postseason, it was the Mets who hit more home runs during the regular season before pounding out seven home runs in their NLDS win over the Dodgers.
For the Mets, this is their first trip to the NLCS since 2006, when a team that had lost two of its three best starting pitchers right before the postseason was knocked off by the Cardinals in seven games.
