It's 100% factual that an AL team beating an NL team helps the Mets in the long-shot long-run if they are to make a playoff push. Myself, I was rooting for the Yankees. I mean in theory I'm supposed to root for them because it's factual, but that doesn't mean I did/do. Rather the Reds and Cardinals fall out uof it and the second best team simply lose out in the wild card. Also hoping Cliff Lee's ridiculous June leads to a dead-arm July and the Phillies go 10-17 including a sweep at the hands of the Mets and we're not talking wild card anyway.
