Yes, there may still be more than two and a half hours before the first pitch gets thrown at Chase Field by Brandon Pfaadt tonight. But on the other side of the country, an almost as important contest gets under way at 4:20 pm. That’s when the Atlanta Braves will kick off their three-game series against the New York Mets, with both teams hot in pursuit of a wild-card spot, along with the Diamondbacks. Going into play, the Mets are half a game back of us, and the Braves are a game and a half behind. While the D-backs still control their own fate, this series promises to be key in helping decide when - and let’s be honest, “if” is still also on the table - a post-season place is confirmed for Arizona.
