NY Post: Mets completely flipped season around after brutal Dodgers embarrassment. "It was the Dodgers who embarrassed the Mets during a three-game sweep while outscoring them 18-5. The Mets dropped to a season-low 11 games under .500, were 16 games back in the NL East to the same Phillies club they just disposed of and were falling apart off the field, too."
Laura Albanese Newsday: Mets in a much better place than the last time they faced Dodgers. 'The last time they faced the Dodgers, the Mets were 11 games under .500. They had just lost 10 of their last 12. Jorge Lopez threw a glove...'That was the game of the team meeting, I guess?' Carlos Mendoza said after the Mets’ workout Saturday. 'We’ve been through a lot, but the fact that after that game, that’s when the guys got together and we started turning a corner, so maybe [it was a turning point] . . .'"
NY Post: Mets vs. Dodgers: NLCS matchups, predictions and preview. Writer Dan Martin give the Mets the edge in the Starting Rotation, Bench, Manager, and Intangibles. He calls it even in the outfield and on the basepaths. Every other category he gives to the Dodgers.
