NEW YORK — The 2024 New York Mets are following an eerily similar script.
They last played at home on Sept. 22, when they narrowly beat the Phillies 2-1 on Sunday Night Baseball to give themselves a chance to clinch a postseason berth in their next series versus the Atlanta Braves. But two of the three games in Atlanta were postponed due to Hurricane Helene. After a brief pause, they lost two out of three in Milwaukee against a Brewers team that had little to play for. The results of the final weekend of play led to the Mets flying back to Atlanta for a doubleheader a day before the Wild Card Series began to decide their fate.
