The Mets surprised a lot of people by sending the NLCS back to Los Angeles for Game 6, but that’s what they’ve been doing all year. Why should now be any different? The Dodgers are one win away from the World Series

The Los Angeles Dodgers know it’s unconventional. It can look, well, a bit ridiculous at times. A team with a payroll exceeding $300 million, that dropped $1.4 billion on free agents last winter, shouldn’t have to rely on bullpen games to keep its season alive.

These very Mets were told from the start that they are a team in transition. Yet, here they are with a legit shot against the best money can build.
