The Mets return home for the final home stand of the season, beginning with a three game set with the Nationals. The Mets are coming off a frustrating series with the Phillies where they could - and probably should - have won all three games, but only took home the win in one of them.
Luckily for the Mets, the Nationals are not the Phillies. While the Nats are not quite the Marlins, there is clear distinction between the talent level of the top three teams in the National League East and the bottom two.
