After taking three of four games in a series against the Phillies (and preventing them from clinching the NL East at Citi Field), the New York Mets are about to play three of the most important games of the entire season against longtime rivals the Atlanta Braves.
They’re entering the series two games ahead of Atlanta in the wildcard standings, and by the time the regular series comes to a close, it’s likely one of these teams won’t be playing October baseball.

The Mets are also coming into this series without Francisco Lindor, who will miss at least Tuesday’s tilt.
And as if the stakes couldn’t get any higher, Tropical Storm Helene will blow through the Atlanta area later this week, which could mean a washout if the start time isn’t amended, as it was reported earlier this week could happen.
The New York Mets currently sit in the second wildcard spot, just a half-game behind the WC1 San Diego Padres. With two games in hand on Atlanta entering the series, the Mets can punch their ticket to the postseason with two wins in this series against the Braves.
Alternatively, going 4-2 in any fashion in the final six games of the season would mean the Mets continue onto the postseason.
All three games in the Mets’ series against the Braves will air on their home network, SNY. If you have traditional cable, you’ll be able to watch all three games on your TV.
To watch SNY live, you’ll need a live TV streaming service.
Our favorite, because it includes regional sports networks (like SNY), is DIRECTV Stream. You’ll have to subscribe to the CHOICE plan, which comes with a five-day free trial. After the trial ends, DIRECTV Stream Choice plan costs $88.99/month.
The Mets will play the Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta, GA.
