...Also Whoever's Playing the Dodgers

If Tuesday or Wednesday get rained out, then yes, I'd expect a doubleheader on Thursday. But if Thursday gets rained out, I don't expect that the Mets would be forced to return to Philadelphia for a makeup game next Monday.

It'd be such a farce for that game too, worse than awarding the Dodgers home field with a half game lead.

Of course, you'd start Harvey that day and then you'd have both deGrom and Harvey lined up to pitch in the NLDS on normal 4 days rest.

All tied with three to play...

Our final Temporary Other Favorite Team of the regular season: the San Diego Padres. Casey Kelly vs. Alex Wood at place we don't want to see until a week from Monday, 10:10 tonight.

Dodgers beat the Padres 6-2.

The heat is on!!

Robbie Erlin (1-1 6.30) takes on Zack Greinke (18.3 1.68). I'm sure neither of those records is indicative of the pitchers' respective abilities.

The important thing, from a history-preserving standpoint, is Greinke could throw a complete game shutout and his ERA still won't beat Doc's from 1985. As for home field, just win, Mets.
