The Mets will have all of their weapons for the National League Championship Series including the hot bats of Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso.
Lindor had 5 hits in 18 at-bats with 1 home run, 5 runs batted in, 2 doubles, 4 runs scored, and a .906 on-base plus slugging percentage against the Phillies in the NLDS.
Alonso also had a good series against the Phillies with 4 hits in 13 at-bats with 2 home runs, 3 runs batted in, 1 double, 3 runs scored, and a 1.291 on-base plus slugging percentage.
Starting pitcher Kodai Senga will take the mound in game 1 for the Mets against the Dodgers.
Senga started 1 game in the NLDS where he pitched 2.0 innings allowing 1 hit, 1 earned run, 1 walk, and had 3 strikeouts.
It is unclear how long of a leash Senga will have on Sunday, but the Mets bullpen has been great thus far in the postseason.
Senga will go up against Jack Flaherty of the Dodgers as the Mets look to start the series strong in Los Angeles.
The Mets are searching to appear in their first World Series since they lost it in 2015.
