The Mets are onto Philadelphia after beating the Milwaukee Brewers two games to one in the Wild Card round, a series capped by Pete Alonso’s signature moment as a Met. The roster for the National League Division Series looks similar outside of two additions—including one shocking one announced at Carlos Mendoza‘s Friday press conference.

Starters & Bench (13)

  1. Francisco Alvarez
  2. Pete Alonso
  3. Jose Iglesias
  4. Francisco Lindor
  5. Mark Vientos
  6. Brandon Nimmo
  7. Harrison Bader
  8. Starling Marte
  9. Luis Torrens
  10. J.D. Martinez
  11. Tyrone Taylor
  12. Luisangel Acuña
  13. Jesse Winker
All is the same here. The Mets went with the same eight starters in the field across all three games in Milwaukee, and we’ll see if Mendoza opts to treat it the same against Philly. The bench will be made up of Jesse Winker or J.D. Martinez (whoever doesn’t DH), Luisangel Acuña, Harrison Bader and Luis Torrens.

Rotation (6)

  1. Luis Severino
  2. Sean Manaea
  3. Jose Quintana
  4. David Peterson
  5. Kodai Senga
  6. Tylor Megill
Kodai Senga (still surprised about this) and Tylor Megill are on the NLDS roster. Megill wasn’t on the Wild Card roster because he pitched Monday, and Senga has been hurt all season outside of one game. Now, Senga will start Game 1. Madness.

Bullpen (9)

  1. Edwin Diaz
  2. Phil Maton
  3. Ryne Stanek
  4. Reed Garrett
  5. Jose Butto
  6. Adam Ottavino
  7. Danny Young
To get Senga and Megill onto the roster, the Mets dropped Max Kranick and Huascar Brazoban from the Wild Card round. Now, some mix of Megill and Peterson will likely pitch out of the bullpen at points—especially during Game 1 to follow Senga. We’ll see how the Mets use their best pitchers after a stressful three games to make it here.
