With just three games remaining in the regular season and the Mets trailing the Braves by 1.5 games, the Mets are all but certain to be playing in the Wild Card round (unless the Mets are able to sweep the Nationals and the Marlins beat the Braves in the next two games). Their path to a World Series is not as clear as it was when a division title looked likely, but with the talent in their...

Coming off of a four-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates at home, the Mets hit the road and opened an important three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Mets entered Monday night’s game with a 93-55 record, one game over the Atlanta Braves in the NL East, and with a “magic number” of two to clinch a spot in the 2022 MLB postseason. All the Mets needed was one win in this three-game...
Thanks to their victory Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the New York Mets are one win over the Milwaukee Brewers away from clinching a playoff berth.
