At 6:40 tonight, the New York Mets will face the National League East-leading Philadelphia Phillies in what promises to be anything but a relaxing road trip to the City of Brotherly Love.
Exactly 40 minutes later in the Big Peach, the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers _ who have already swept Atlanta in one series this year _ will begin a four-game series at Truist Park against the Atlanta Braves.
Depending on how those series play out, the Braves _ who are currently one game behind the Mets for the final NL wildcard spot _ may be anywhere from in the lead for that berth, or as many as 4.
