With one more win, more specifically a Game 4 win tonight at Citi Field, the New York Mets will have advanced to the 2015 NLCS.

Game 4 – Mets lead NLDS 2-1

If you were to tell fans of the New York Mets that their team would be playing in an NLDS Game 4 at home with an opportunity to advance to their first NLCS in nine years back in March, they’d tell you to put the drink down and quickly walk away.
Now, they’re still struggling to fully take in this realization: That their Mets are just one win away from an even grander stage.

Still though, New York has work to do, and it will be youngster Steven Matz who takes the ball from Terry Collins in this pivotal Game 4.
