Mets-Braves tiebreaker?

[Wavetrapper]

As of now, what is the status of the tiebreaker between them?   Thank you

It's complicated.

Mets Braves and DIamondbacks are fighting for the last 2 wild cards.

Right now Braves are a game ahead of the Mets and Dbacks:

Atl 88-71|
NYM 87-72|
Arizona 88-73

The Braves lead the season series with the Mets 6-5.   So basically, the Braves have the tiebreak, EXCEPT if the Braves win today, the Mets lose, and then the Mets were to sweep a doubleheader tomorrow from Atlanta.  Then the MEts would win the season series 7-6 and have the tiebreak.

Arizona loses the tiebreak to either team.   So they are in trouble.

I hope they keep him writing about baseball.

Sounds like Diamondbacks need a sweep.

How much do the Braves and Mets hate each other?

The Game 1 winner clinches a berth.    How hard does the Game 1 winner play Game 2?
