The past 5 NL postseasons have taught us: Don't bet on the Nationals or the Dodgers, and don't bet against the Cardinals or the Giants.

To be fair those postseasons didn't include the Cubs or the Mets, so we have no idea how they're going to respond. Baseball playoffs aren't like the other sports. Absolutely anything can happen. Kershaw and Greinke could dominate their way to the WS, or they could each pitch poorly and the Mets could sweep them. There's no rhyme or reason

Point taken, and I don't necessarily disagree. I just think Mattingly cant manage his way out of a wet paper bag. But he can prove me wrong this postseason.
