The fact is there's no way to know what matchup really will be better for us and it's a best of 5 crapshoot that we'll be favored in no matter who we play. The Mets just aren't going to roll over for us if we draw them. Would I rather face them? Probably, but it really doesn't matter all that much. I think it matters a lot. I think the Dodgers are leaps and bounds better than the Mets in pretty much every area. Also Furcal is back. They have a top offense and the best pitching in the league. The Mets have a good lineup and that's it. In a five game series (even in a seven game series), truth be told, having some bounces go our way is going to matter a whole lot more than who we're facing. It's lame but that's really what it comes down to. It's too short term to be able to say, "oh we're this much better than these guys but only that much better than those guys, we would be much more likely to beat these guys." Fact is will be the better team no matter who we are facing. Be happy with that. That's all you can really ask for.
