In one sense, there shouldn’t be much for the Mets to ponder. Just align Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, Chris Bassitt and either Carlos Carrasco or Taijuan Walker for the postseason pitching rotation and go from there.

And maybe it will turn out that way.

But given the undecided NL East race and the possibility the Mets still could end up playing a best-of-three wild-card round, there is some nuance involved for team brass in trying to get it right.

As it stands, the Mets have 11 games remaining, which means two turns through the rotation for each of the five. There could be a third turn for somebody if needed, or if the Mets have clinched the division before the Oct. 5 regular-season finale against Washington, a bullpen game easily could be arranged behind, say, a shortened deGrom start.
