"Sounded 'em and got the W". #MetsWin #LGM- New York Mets
Both teams are battling it out to be the absolute best in the National League. The Mets are top in the East and the Dodgers in the west. However, the situation in the east seems a little tricky. Right behind New York are the Atlanta Braves, the defending champions. Only three wins separate the two sides as of now. Game 3 will decide if the Mets get a chance to increase their lead or not.
In the West, the Los Angeles Dodgers are in cruise control. They are way ahead of the second-placed San Diego Padres. The Dodgers are having an incredible season with an exceptional win/loss ratio of 90/39. These numbers are simply phenomenal and the best in the entire league. There is hardly any difference between their home and away record.
Both matches between the Mets and the Dodgers have been close ones. Los Angeles won the first game 4-3, and the Mets clinched the second 2-1. Here we are for the final game of the series. This is anybody's game.
