SI asks who would the Mets rather face in the World Series.
I picked Toronto, for all the qualitative reasons they list, and -- I like the idea of a northeast-only World Series, and an international World Series. Toronto is a cool city. I don't know anyone in Kansas City. And I think the Royals have more to prove after losing to the Giants last year.
That said, I think the Mets will beat either of the teams, assuming they don't get complacent.
