All or nothing. That’s the mindset the New York Mets need to embrace heading into Game 3 of the MLB National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. At the center of this pivotal matchup is Luis Severino, who is expected to take the mound for the Mets.

Severino addressed the media ahead of the crucial game, sharing his thoughts on his preparation. Contrary to expectations of a serious and intense regimen, Severino offered a lighthearted admission: “Gonna go through some videos, go to my house, play a little video games, and that’ll be it. Worry about tomorrow.”

The candid response drew laughter from those at the press conference, with Severino even revealing that Call of Duty would be his game of choice as he unwinds before facing the Dodgers.
