The Mets took Game 1 of the NLCS and will look to hold serve in Citi Field on Sunday. Standing in the way is Jake Arrieta. The Cubs right-hander -- and NL Cy Young candidate -- finished the regular season 22-6 with a 1.77 ERA and 236 strikeouts.
The Mets will counter with Noah Syndergaard, but it’s the team’s bats that must liven up. Outside of Curtis granderson and Daniel Murphy, the Mets are batting .176 in the postseason.
David Wright -- the supposed Mr. Met -- is 1-for-19 in six playoff games.
