Looking postseason-ready in a sweep of the Pirates, the Mets have thus far stayed ahead of Atlanta in the N.L. East.
Atop the National League East with a record of 93-55, the Mets are closing in on a playoff spot. With 14 games left in the regular season, the only real question left is whether they will enter the postseason with a division title — and possibly a first-round bye — or a wild-card spot.
