Padres-Mets Wild Card Series: Preview, predictions, updates and takeaways from Game 3

MLB's first-ever wild-card series weekend concludes with just one Game 3: the San Diego Padres at New York Mets.

The playoff field expanded to 12 teams for the 2022 postseason -- four best-of-three series to determine which teams will advance to the ALDS (against the Houston Astros or the New York Yankees) and NLDS (against the Atlanta Braves or Los Angeles Dodgers).

Well, all but one of the wild-card series ended in a sweep. The Cleveland Guardians swept the Tampa Bay Rays and will meet the Yankees in the next round.
