Besides maybe the Padres, their first-round opponents, the Mets face the toughest draw of any team entering this postseason derby.
The Mets’ reward for winning their most games since 1988 — and maybe even ’86 depending how the finale goes — is a playoff gauntlet I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. The first round will be no gimme against the Padres, who remade their roster at the deadline and are finally showing signs of living up to their headlines.
Buck Showalter’s Mets face a daunting road just to reach the World Series, The Post’s Jon Heyman writes.The Mets do have a lot going for them, of course; you don’t win 100 games by accident. That also includes either great confidence or the guts to say aloud something they can’t prove about the Braves. Not yet anyway.
Nobody else seems able to do it, and it’s understandable, what with that killer lineup and superior starting pitching no matter who’s out there. There are 110-win teams that don’t finish the job, but not many.
