i'd much rather root against having to potentially face the best pitcher in the NL twice in 5 games. i'll root for madness in the AL for the fun. plus the mets with thor only once is my ideal opponent so i'd like to lock that in If that's what you're rooting for (as I am), then we want the Mets to clinch a spot in the wild card game on Saturday so Thor would pitch the wild card game. If the Mets don't clinch on Saturday, Thor pitches Sunday and would be ready for Game 1 (and game 5, if necessary) of the NLDS should the Mets get through the Wild Card game. i said on the last page that i'm rooting for them to clinch as early as possible for that reason. they have a magic number of 4.
