Longtime rivals with two of the most passionate fan bases in baseball are set to meet in the playoffs for the first time.
Bryce Harper and the Phillies will face Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor and the Mets in a best-of-five National League Division Series that can’t help but be memorable given all the elements involved.
The Phillies begin postseason play as arguably one of the two best teams in the majors, alongside the Dodgers, hoping to build on a 95-win season when it really counts and secure their first World Series title since 2008. The Mets’ title drought dates back much further than that, of course, but New York can’t be counted out given the way it has played down the stretch.
The Sporting News has you covered with everything you need to know about the National League Division Series between the Phillies and Mets.
