The Atlanta Braves are struggling and the New York Mets are surging.
will travel to New York City to face their NL-East Division Rival, the New York Mets, for a four-game set. Each team is riding off vastly different stories entering the series. The Braves are in a spiral, having lost four out of five games since the All-Star Break.
For the Mets, it has been the opposite story. They have won five out of seven games since the break including a sweep of the Yankees in the Subway Series. That said, manager Carlos Mendoza’s squad is now in a prime position to make an NL Wild Card push, as they are just one-and-a-half-games behind Atlanta in the standings. Looking at the series, there is more at stake for manager Brian Snitker’s club than meets the eye.
The Braves would still be headed in the wrong direction with the Padres, Cardinals, and Diamondbacks are breathing down their necks. Not too long ago, missing the playoffs seemed unfathomable for the Braves, but if they don't get at least a split in New York, that improbability looks more like a reality heading into August.
