In the first two seasons of this format, the NL #1 and #2 seeds are 0-for-4 advancing. The matchups this season are closer than they have been in recent seasons, which should bode well for the underdogs again. The Phillies’ rotation advantage in this one, though, makes me think this is where the Grimace/OMG/Playoff Pumpkin stories end. Should have re-signed Zack Wheeler, Mets. Phillies in five.
