Mets win 100th game, but Braves win NL East
The Mets finished second in the National League East. They will play the Padres in a Wild Card Series on Friday, Saturday and if necessary, Sunday. The Braves won the division title last weekend. The Mets' World Series hopes remain alive. “Everything’s still there for them,” manager Buck Showalter says.
The Mets are second in the NL East, 1 game behind the Braves. They are playing a meaningless game on Wednesday. On Friday, they will play the Padres. The team is aiming to win 100 games. It is the fourth time the team has won 100 or more games in its history. The Mets were eliminated from the division race on Tuesday. Showalter wants them to understand they are still World Series contenders. If they win the Wild Card, the next step is to play against the Dodgers. Then they could face the defending champion Braves or Cardinals. or the Cardinals in a Championship Series.
