Brandon Nimmo and the New York Mets are ready to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, in what promises to be an exciting matchup between two teams that battled hard in their respective MLB divisional series.

In recent comments, Mets left fielder Brandon Nimmo admitted he watched Game 5 between the Dodgers and Padres and that the Mets are prepared to play either team, regardless of the outcome.
“We like our team—our team against anybody—and so, you know, we’re definitely going to be tuning in, but I don’t think it matters who wins. Both are great teams. It’s not going to be easy either way, but we do feel confident about where we’re at and our team. Either way, it’s going to be a tough challenge, but we’re confident in our team.”
Nimmo is feeling very sure about what the Mets are bringing to the table in the NLCS against the Dodgers, saying it didn’t matter to him if it was them or the Padres.
