Fresh off of a sweep of the Minnesota Twins at Citi Field, the New York Mets find their backs against the wall yet again against the Atlanta Braves. For the second time this season, the Mets have been swept by the team with the second-worst record in the MLB.
Recently, things have been good for the Mets. On August 20, the Mets were 60-62 and about five games behind from the second wild card spot. Today, they are 80-72 and just a half-game out of the top wild card spot.
