ATLANTA — The Mets have faced a lot of uncertainty this season, but never this much.

They need only two wins over the Atlanta Braves this week to clinch a playoff spot, but their NL East foes bested them 5-1 on Tuesday night at Truist Park. To make matters worse, a hurricane is headed directly toward Georgia and MLB has yet to make any contingency plans.

It’s unclear if the series can even resume as scheduled with heavy rain and winds forecasted for the rest of the week.
