After an incredible Game 1 of Monday's Mets-Braves doubleheader, the NL Wild Card round matchups are set! Eno and DVR discuss the potential carryover effects of the tight schedule on both clubs as they go on the road to face the Padres and Brewers. How will the Braves navigate their pitching plans if Chris Sale is unavailable? Will the bullpens wear down as series progress? Plus, is this the most complete Padres team that AJ Preller has assembled in San Diego? Can the Mets' lineup propel them deep into October, or will the Brewers' mixing and matching approach in the pitching staff continues to work in the playoffs?
