I too would lean towards the Mets in this game myself. Thats even if they play this game tonight. There is talk about a rainout tonight I hear.

Gotta admit he at least put out some statistics to back up the play. Interesting the Mets only played 26 games in the 2nd half vs. teams above .500. I did not know that.

Whoever wins Game 5 will win the series. I'm still sticking with the Mets.
