Mets announce Noah Syndergaard would start Wild Card game
Thinking ahead, Mets manager makes right call to line up his ace for Wild Card game
New York Mets manager Terry Collins is set up for October baseball. Should his squad make it, Noah Syndergaard will start the wild card game against presumably either San Francisco or St. Louis.
It’s the obvious call to make. We all love how Bartolo Colon has contributed to this team and how he’s pitched in some key moments. However, in a one game elimination, you need to throw your absolute best.
Plus, you still have the veteran presence of Colon to start a series against Chicago should you get to that point.
