Assuming Mother Nature cooperates, the Mets (15-11) will play four games over the next four days against the division-leading Braves (17-9). The last time these two squared off, Atlanta effectively ended New York’s hopes of an NL East title with a decisive sweep at Truist Park. Overall, the Mets won nine and lost ten against the Braves in 2023, including taking six of nine at Citi Field.
The Mets are coming off a disheartening series loss to the lowly Nationals, although they were able to salvage the series finale to avoid a sweep.
