The Mets haven’t played in the postseason since 2016. This fact has been established several times since Buck Showalter’s squad clinched a playoff berth in Milwaukee. Since 2017, has New York played in a series more important than the one that’s about to go down in Atlanta at Truist Park this weekend?
No way. The Mets have been one of baseball’s best teams throughout the regular season. And after a slow start, the Braves have also played like the upper-echelon team many expected them to be.
With six regular-season games to go, both New York and Atlanta could finish with 100 wins apiece.
