Jon and I broke down WC series, including here on Red Sox lefties vs. Yankees lefty hitters. Also, discussed Stearns pre Via @Joelsherman1 on X

What happened: The lefty-on-lefty matchup pits Boston left-handers against New York lefty bats. Mets offseason direction follows the Stearns presser.

Why it matters: Left-handed deployment dictates bullpen and pinch-hit timing in a short series. Early clarity on New York direction shapes winter roster work.

What to watch: Watch lefty usage on both sides once play begins.
