sports National League Wild Card Game 2016

[Luigi 7,871]

Hi there, everypony! Little Flyer here.

 

I don't know how many other ponies follow Baseball, but the 2016 season is almost over. First part of the postseason, the Wild Card games, are coming just around the corner.

 

But here's what we do know about the NLWC matchup.

 

 

The San Francisco Giants will face off against the New York Mets at Citi Field in Queens, New York. Game will be broadcast on ESPN at 8:00 PM New York time, and 5:00 PM California time.

 

Starting pitcher for the Giants will be 2014 World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner, a three time World Series champion. This season, Bumgarner has accumulated a 15-9 Win/Loss record, a 2.74 ERA, 226.2 innings, pitched, 251 Strikeouts, and is just coming off of his 100th career win.

 

Starting pitcher for the Mets will be Noah Syndergaard. This is only Syndergaard's second season in Major League Baseball, but he's accumulated a 14-9 Win/Loss record, a 2.60 ERA, 183.2 innings pitched, and 218 strikeouts.

 

It's win or go home. The winner of this game moves into the NLDS to face the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Who is everypony rooting for? Who does everypony think will win. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Honestly, I'd have to go with the Mets.

 

I detest one of their starters for stroking his ego down in San Diego early in the season, but I kinda want the Giants out of contention so the Dodgers don't have to face their biggest rival if they eliminate the Nationals.

Wow. I guess there aren't a lot of ponies from Queens or San Francisco.

 

But the time of the game has been decided at 8:00 PM Eastern.

 

As for me, I'm thinking that I want to see the Mets win it. From the looks of it, the Mets have been trouble for the Cubs, so if anyone can eliminate the Cubs in the NLDS, it would be the Mets.
