The Mets (18-18) saw their series finale in St. Louis rained out on Wednesday amid severe weather, and with that, the team wound up with two full days off ahead of its three-game series against the Braves (22-12) at Citi Field this weekend.
That postponed game against the Cardinals ended the Mets’ road trip at five games, during which they went 2-3. Having been swept by the Rays in a three-game series last weekend, the Mets bounced back with a pair of wins over the Cardinals that got them back to .500. That’s where the team has been hovering for weeks now, but that alone is enough to be in the thick of the National League Wild Card mix, albeit among a slew of other teams.
