The Mets (98-58) head to Atlanta to take on the Braves (97-59) in a three-game set. That’s the short, boring story.

Either the Braves will win their fifth straight division title, or the Mets will be crowned champions of the National League Eastern division for the first time since 2015. The Mets have won nine out of the sixteen games the teams have played this year, which looms large as the two sides square off for one final round (in the regular season).
