The New York Mets (78-74) are down to their final 10 games of the 2025 MLB regular season, and they currently hold a narrow 1.5-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks (77-76) for the third and final NL Wild Card spot. The Cincinnati Reds (76-76) and San Francisco Giants (76-76) are both lurking just two games below the playoff cut line themselves.
