Of the four matchups in the opening round of this year's MLB playoffs, only one wild-card matchup will be going to a decisive Game 3 today. That will be in the Big Apple, where the #4 New York Mets and #5 San Diego Padres will duel with an NLDS showdown with the Los Angeles Dodgers at stake.
After San Diego's homer barrage against Max Scherzer guided them to a Game 1 win, New York bounced back in Game 2 to force a winner-take-all game at Citi Field.
Will the Padres win to set up an NLDS showdown with the hated Dodgers, or will the Mets win to put three NL East teams in the next round?
