The Mets (58-67) took three of four games from the Cardinals over the weekend in St. Louis, but they are set to wrap up their road trip with a three-game series against the much more formidable Braves (80-43).
Much like the Padres, the Mets have been hovering in between the five teams that have an actual shot at the third Wild Card spot in the National League and the teams that are vying only for draft lottery odds. At the moment, the team isn’t incredibly likely to end up with a top-six pick in the draft or a playoff spot, but three games in Atlanta might affect their trajectory.
