The New York Mets are currently second in the National League behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Mets have a tough closing schedule, but their three-game set against the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta will decide the division and a first-round bye for the team that wins the World Series.
The New York Yankees are 8-games behind the Houston Astros for the best record in the American League East. They have a bye in Division Series, which gives them the advantage of home-field in World Series.
The Atlanta Braves are the defending World Series champions. They are closing on the New York Mets since the break. Ozzie Albies is injured but should be back by the postseason.
