The Mets Game 5 plans are still in the works. Luis Severino will pitch in Game 3 on Wednesday. Jose Quintana will get the nod for Thursdays Game 4. A frustrated Kodai Senga walks off the mound after giving up two runs in the first inning of the Mets 9-0 Game 1 lo s to the Dodgers. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Winning Monday and returning to Citi Field all tied up ensured that there will be a Game 5 Friday, for which Kodai Senga is currently lined up. Senga, whose velocity was down and whose accuracy nose-dived , is at least in the conversation. Explore More Right now everything is [physically] fine, manager Carlos Mendoza said of Senga during Tuesdays workout day in Queens. Hell go out there and play catch and see where we are. Senga later threw in the outfield with several coaches eyes on him, including pitching coach Jeremy Hefners. After the se sion, high-fives were exchanged. If the Mets pivot from Senga, David Peterson would be the most logical alternative. David Peterson could be an option for Game 5. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post Peterson, a reliable starter during the regular season and a flexible reliever in the postseason, threw 6 / scorele s innings in October before the Dodgers scored three runs (two Tommy Seidl Jersey earned) in 2 / innings against Peterson on Sunday. Peterson has piggybacked off Senga starts and is not fully built up: He threw 40 pitches in Game 1 of the NLCS. It is po sible that Peterson, one of just two southpaws (with Danny Young) in the bullpen, is used in relief Wednesday or Thursday. Tylor Megill works out ahead of the NLCS. Robert Sabo for NY Post If so, Tylor Megill who has pitched just once this month, allowing one run in 1 / innings in Game 2 of the NLDS could get a start or provide several innings of relief behind Senga. There is no clear Plan B for the Mets after Senga imploded, blaming a fault in his mechanics for an outing in which he recorded four outs, walked four and let up three runs. Follow The Posts coverage of the Mets playoff run: Well see how he feels today and how were going to get there to Game 5 and well make a decision, Mendoza said. Walker Buehler, the Dodgers Game 3 starter, is a righty who has fared worse against lefties (.890 OPS) than righties (.833 OPS) this season. With righty-hitting Jose Iglesias owning a .485 OPS in the postseason, the Mets have a decision to make at second base, where lefty-swinging Jeff McNeil could get his first start. Well see. Those are only conversations there, Mendoza said. Buehler is kind of neutral. So I could go with righties. I could mix a lefty in there. Kodai Senga grimaces during the fist inning in which he gave up two runs in Game 1 of the Mets 9-0 lo s to the Dodgers.

Freddie Freeman has played through an ankle injury that has severely limited his mobility. Even with colder, Northeast weather for the next three days, his manager believes Freeman will continue playing every day. Its a day-to-day conversation, Dave Roberts said, but: I just dont see any world that he doesnt start a playoff game in the NLCS. But, again, if he cant do it, thats very telling. Derrick Gore Jersey
