Either Mets or Cubs over KC, otherwise Cubs > Jays, Jays > Mets.

I think it would be fun for the Cubs to win. Breaking the goat jinx and all that. But it would be more fun to go to the Jays spring games in Dunedin and see the world champion flag flying. But they might increase the cost of the $20 box seats, too.

I'm guessing that teams have come back from a 0-3 deficit in a League
Championship series, but I'd still rather be three up than three down.
So far, I'd call it the Curse of Murph.

would have a rough time against the Cubs, who seemed to
have the momentum coming into the series. Both teams
seem to have a good future. I'm glad for Terry Collins and
David Wright, who labored for a long time when the Mets
had mediocre teams. One more left to go.

The only silver lining is that the Mets look to be more
