Eight months have passed since the New York Mets swept the Chicago Cubs in the 2015 NLCS, and the Amazin's will look to keep their streak going when they welcome the Cubbies to Citi Field for four games this weekend. It comes as no surprise, then, that three of the series' games crack our top MLB games list this week.

In what will be the most expensive game of the week, Cardinals tickets on the secondary market currently average $173.12 and the cheapest ticket is listed from $16.
