The Atlanta Braves and New York Mets don't much care for each other and neither do their fans.
Though it's not the league's oldest or most geographical rivalry, the Mets and Braves have hated each other for decades, mainly because the latter has dominated the National League East. In 2024, though, the Mets defeated the Braves to make the postseason and advanced farther, turning the tables if only for a moment.
As the de facto third-place team in the NL East playoff standings this year, the Braves will be motivated beyond belief to reassert their dominance over the Mets and Philadelphia Phillies in 2025.
