Unlike the Mets, the Dodgers have a wealth (pun intended) of postseason experience. Here’s how they fared:

Adrian Gonzalez (18 games) .294/.360/.500 with four homeruns and 10 RBIs

Howie Kendrick (16 games) .186/.197/.288 with one homerun and two RBIs

Jimmy Rollins (46 games) .250/.314/.372 with three homeruns and 15 RBIs

Carl Crawford (35 games) .275/.309/.472 with seven homeruns and 16 RBIs

Yasiel Puig (14 games) .314/.364/.412 with zero homeruns and five RBIs

Andre Ethier (30 games) .231/.333/.407 with three homeruns and six RBIs

Scott Van Slyke (3 games) .000/.000/.000

A.J. Ellis (14 games) .386/.481/.682 with two homeruns and five RBIs

Chase Utley (46 games) .262/.402/.500 with 10 homeruns and 25 RBIs

Justin Turner (2 games) .000/.000/.000

Alberto Callaspo (7 games) .222/.222/.333 with no homeruns and one RBI
Chris Heisey (6 games) .000/.000/.000

From this we learn what we already knew, Gonzalez and Puig (if healthy) are the Mets biggest problems. Shutting them down will the key to winning the NLDS.

With that said, I’m confident in the Mets pitching staff. It’s why I think the Mets will win this series.
