The Mets (73-77) head north to the state of Massachusetts for two games against the Red Sox (86-65). The two clubs squared off way back in April at Citi Field, with Boston sweeping the two-game set. The Mets will look to walk away with two wins, but it might just be time for the team to surrender.
The Mets played three do-or-die games against the Phillies and came away with one win. Though they are still mathematically alive, losses in six of their last eight games have put their playoff hopes on life support.
