Las Vegas - Turning to the National League Championship Series and gonna look at the Mets over the Dodgers. New York will start Luis Severino who pitched 10 days ago against the Phillies. Severino has been solid, but not spectacular the last two months, but at home, the numbers have been strong. In his last four starts at Citi Field, he has thrown a total of 29 innings and given up just 5 earned runs for a tasty 1.55 ERA. The other arm, Walker Buehler, has been having issues since coming back from his second Tommy John surgery and a right hip injury. Sadly, Walker has not won a game since way back in May. And in his only start in the playoffs, he was BOMBED by the Padres, allowing 7 hits and 6 earned in only 5 innings. This IS NOT the same guy that posted a 16-4 record with a 2.47 ERA back in 2021. Buehler can not reach back and throw a 98 MPH fastball anymore, and the Mets will be waiting to take advantage. Bank of Benj is wide open for the home team in Queens.
