Vote: Are you picking the Mets or the Dodgers?


Is having the National League's best record a blessing or a curse for the New York Mets as they prepare to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first round of the playoffs?

How does this series shape up, SportsNation? The Mets stumbled down the stretch and won't have Pedro Martinez. Then again, Martinez wasn't effective in the second half and the Mets were good enough to coast to home-field advantage despite the late fade. How much does momentum matter? And do the Dodgers have the better rotation?

The Mets and Dodgers get things started on Wednesday, and we want to know how you see it playing out.
