Half the final bracket is complete, now all the Mets need is an opponent as they await the World Series.
Among the Mets’ benefits of sweeping the Cubs in the NLCS is the opportunity to rest and watch the Royals and Blue Jays determine the AL pennant. The ALCS will resume Friday night in Kansas City with the Royals ahead 3-2 in the series.
The Mets insist they are ready for whoever is handed to them.
“I would say Toronto has got the big boppers — they are a very similar team to the Cubs,” Michael Cuddyer said.
