The Mets beat the Dodgers in Game 5 of the NLDS last night and will now take on the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS.

Game 1 is Saturday night and you can listen right here on 104.5 The Team.

We brought in Jeff Paternostro of Amazin' Avenue and Baseball Prospectus to talk about the Mets Game 5 win -- and to preview the upcoming NLCS.

What were his emotions like during the game? Did he want to see Jacob deGrom lifted after early-game struggles?

How impressive was Daniel Murphy in the series? He's one of only two players all season to homer off both Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke.

Furthermore, Jeurys Familia retired all 16 men he faced in the series, how unreal is that?

Finally, we asked Paternostro his confidence level going into Game 1 with Matt Harvey on the mound. And we asked him what the environment at Citi Field is expected to be like on Saturday night.
