The Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets and Atlanta Braves entered Sunday with nearly simultaneous games and several paths to earn one of the two final NL Wild Card spots left.
It’s the D-backs’ last game of the 2024 regular season against the San Diego Padres.
The Mets (87-72) face the Milwaukee Brewers and the Braves (88-71) play the Kansas City Royals before they have a makeup doubleheader against each other on Monday.
Arizona (88-73) needs a win and losses by New York and Atlanta to secure a playoff spot on Sunday.
A Diamondbacks loss and a Mets win would eliminate Arizona before the New York-Atlanta games on Monday.
