The Mets come fresh off a day of rest to jump into the biggest and tough homestand of the season. Just two games separates the Mets from the second wild card spot, but they will have to defeat contenders to keep themselves in the race. Just like so many times over the last month, it is make or break for the Mets.
The Mets will play three game series against the Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs. All three teams currently hold a playoff spot in their respective league. For the Mets, this will be their closest test to an actual postseason schedule and experience.
