What a win! I wouldn't say it was a "must" win for the Mets but with Atlanta fizzing out against the Nats, you're back in solid control. Escobar has been clutch since coming off the DL. He's a professional hitter who won't give away too many ABs or get overwhelmed by the moment. He's a much better playoff choice than Baty.
Of all the playoff teams, the Mets are the team that needs the bye most IMO. The last thing you need is Scherzer and Degrom trying to pitch through the WC into the NLDS and onward. Max couldn't handle it last season.
