Crunching the numbers on Mets chances of making the postseason

The Mets went into Saturday night's game against the first-place Nationals with a 43 percent chance of making the playoffs, according to Baseball Prospectus.

Or did they go into the game with a 24.8 percent chance of making the playoffs? That's according to FanGraphs.

Two of the leading baseball analytics websites have consistently disagreed lately about how likely it is that the Mets -- who prior to last night's game were two games out in the NL East and 31/2 games back in the wild-card hunt -- will reach the postseason.

The sites agree, by the way, that the Yankees have a great chance of making it.
