The twilight of a season and the twilight of a career are upon us. As the Marlins come to town as the worst team in the National League, perhaps the baseball gods will allow David Wright to play hero one last time. In a series about endings for the Mets, this is also a look […]

The Braves are coming off their division-clinching sweep of the Phillies as they enter New York. The Mets can no doubt take some credit for the Braves’ division title, as they went 11-8 against Philadelphia and have gone just 4-12 against Atlanta. The Braves have added a lot of new faces since these two clubs […]

As two teams that drastically underperformed preseason expectations, it seems fitting that the Mets travel to Washington for their final road series. In a way, both of these clubs will be at a crossroads this offseason in determining the future direction of their franchises. Both have won the division and reached the playoffs multiple times […]

Welcome to the drop-from-contention Phillies! Not much has changed with the rosters or statistical breakdown of these two teams since they met ten days ago, but Philadelphia has gone from outside shot to make the playoffs to a mere 2.7% chance according to BP’s projections. They do play the Braves seven times over their last […]

The final road trip of the season is upon us, meaning the Mets will face the best team in baseball in Boston. The Red Sox series not only marks the end of interleague play for New York, but also the last time they play a non-NL East opponent. The Red Sox recently became the first […]

While it once looked like the Mets and Marlins would dance for the worst record in the division, it would now take a truly LOLMets final three weeks for New York to finish last in the East. After continuing to throw cold water on the Phillies’ playoff hopes this weekend, the Mets have still been the […]

As we continue into the final month of the season, the Phillies sit 3.5 games out of first place in the NL East. The Mets have actually played well against Philadelphia this year (8-5), and with two more series against them this season, the Mets have a chance to continue to give them fits in their […]

The Dodgers enter into their final 2018 series against the Mets sitting atop the NL West standings after winning eight of their last 10. As Dodger teams have done the last few years, this squad has fended off swaths of injuries through their superior system-wide depth and ability to dip into said depth to make timely […]

San Francisco is still on the fringes of the NL West and Wild Card races, meaning not much has changed from when these two clubs met last week. Buster Posey is out for the year due to hip surgery, but other than that, the version of the Giants you will see this weekend will not […]

The Cubs enter their series against the Mets with the best footing of any National League division leader. Their advantage over the second-place Cardinals has grown to four games, and as a result BP’s projection system gives them a 96% chance to make the playoffs. Chicago’s pitching staff has not been the strength they probably […]
