Over the next three days, the visiting New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves will most likely clarify the National League's wild-card playoff scenario.
With six games left, the Mets (87-69) entered Monday tied with Arizona for the second wild-card spot. New York holds a two-game lead over the NL East rival Braves (85-71), who are trying to make the playoffs for the seventh straight season. Their series opener is Tuesday.
