Probably. Maybe.

It’s probably best not to bet against him right now, though. Murphy hit another homer on Tuesday in Game 3 of the NLCS. At least this time the Mets’ red-hot left-handed hitter waited until the third inning to unleash his solo blast; he homered in the first inning in Games 1 and 2 in New York.
Murphy has now hit home runs in five consecutive playoff games.
That ties a MLB postseason record, set by Carlos Beltran in 2004 with the Astros. In 12 games that October, Beltran hit eight home runs, drove in 14 and produced an incredible .435/.536/1.022 slash line.
Murphy already owned the Mets’ franchise record for career playoff home runs with five. He now has six home runs this postseason.
