Back in March, it looked like one of the most important series of the season would be the Atlanta Braves at the New York Mets in the dog days of August, battling for the National League East title, a jam-packed Citi Field hoping to see Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander shut down the powerful Atlanta lineup.
