Harvey is clearly the better pitcher here. Using overall season stats, KC has been the better offensive team, HOWEVER the Mets are one of those tale of two cities teams: pre- and post-Allstar hitting stats are quite different. Pre-Allstar the Mets struggled offensively, but post-Allstar that changed. Pre-Allstar Mets were .298/.660 for OBP and OPS; post-Allstar they were .328/.770. Granted, KC has been more consistent hitting and hit better than Mets in post-season. But given Harvey is the no-contest better pitcher here, I'm willing to bet the Mets return to 2nd half season form at the plate.
