Also, Hader is back and badder than ever. Since that crazy 15-14 game- where he blew the save and proceded to load the bases- but then after a loud(and I do mean loud) foul ball to Trea Turner, he strikes out the side- he's thrown 10.1 innings. 3 hits, 1 walk. 0 runs. 18 k's. 0.00 ERA obviously, but a 0.01 FIP.

I'll be honest, I'd probably prefer the Mets over the Brewers because in a 1 game situation, do you want to deal with Hader for 3 innings late? I sure as hell don't.

Or 7 innings of degrom early, plus 2 innings of Mets pen late?

I don't think the Mets get there first off. 2 games back with 17 to go. Could be 3 back with 13 to go after this weekend. With Brewers having no tough opponents left.

And yeah, I think i'd take my chances with that Mets pen.

*- of course I'm rooting for a tie so deGrom has to pitch that play-in game and Nats get best of BOTH worlds!
