There are three possible outcomes. The Mets could sweep, the Braves could sweep, or the two clubs could split a doubleheader.
If the team wins both games on Monday, it will tie with Arizona for a playoff spot, with the loser of the doubleheader returning home for the winter. If New York and Atlanta were separated, even if all three teams had the same record, both teams would make the playoffs and the Diamondbacks would be in the mix. That’s because the Mets and Braves have a tiebreaker against the Diamondbacks.
If the Mets and Braves split the doubleheader, Atlanta would be the fifth seed and New York would be the sixth seed, based on Atlanta winning both teams’ season series. The Braves then head to San Diego to take on the Padres, while the Mets return to Milwaukee to take on the Brewers.
