Tomorrow's an off day. Marlins come to Queens on Tuesday & Wednesday followed by another off day. Braves series comes after that.

F--king Braves won, 8-7.
Phillies did what we wanted them to do this series.  
Optimus-NY : 9/25/2022 7:31 pm : link
Mets could have kept their 2 game lead if they won yesterday, but didn't get it done. We've got the Marlenes at home sandwiched between two off-days now. Gotta win those two games before heading to Atlanta to play the Barfs in five days.
Time to become Nats fans tomorrow when the Mets are off.  
Optimus-NY : 9/25/2022 7:35 pm : link
After that, both the Mets and Braves will be even w/respect to games played. The hurricane down there will be a factor for those three games starting in five days from 9-30 to 10-2 in all likelihood.
So here's how it looks.

Magic number 8

One win in ATL worth 3, the other 2 worth 2

Mets paths to clinch if Braves win all their remaining against Nats and Marlins

1)

Vs non Braves: 5-0
Vs Braves: just need 1 win

2)

Vs non Braves: 4-1 or 3-2
Vs Braves: need to win 2 vs Braves

3)

Vs non Braves: 2-3 or 1-4
Vs Braves: sweep


So basically that Braves win was absolutely massive today.

Lets hope Nats can take one or 2 from em!


Stupid wild pitch

Mets need to at least win one game in ATL to win the head to head tiebreaker
Saw on twitter  
spike : 9/25/2022 7:44 pm : link
Mets are 97-57
Braves are 95-58

Mets are 1.5 up

If Mets go 6-2 rest of way, at least one of those wins will be against Atlanta, which will give them tiebreaker in NL East. Their final record would be 103-59

In that scenario, Braves can’t catch them even if they go 8-1.

Yeah that's my scenario 1 above
It's amazing the amount of input that the Nats and Marlins will have  
Optimus-NY : 9/25/2022 7:59 pm : link
on the winner of the NL East since both the Mets and Braves will be playing them over the next ten days.

Note:
Both the Mets and Braves will be off on the 29th.
Braves have 9 games left after today.  
Optimus-NY : 9/25/2022 8:04 pm : link
Mets have 8 games left after today.

6 of the Braves final games will be at the Nats (three games) and at the Marlins (the last three games of the season).

5 of the Mets' last 8 games will against the Marlins (two games in Queens) and the Nats (the last three games of the season in Queens).

In between, the Mets and Braves will play three in Hotlanta. It's all NL East form here on out (including the Phillies today).

Who's pitching for the Braves tomorrow? Cory Abbott's on the mound tomorrow in D.C. for the Nats (RHP - 0-3, 4.85 ERA, 32 S).
the two off days will help the Mets

put the best pitchers in the best position to win max number of games to clinch division.
So gotta sweep the Marlins and Nats  
Snablats : 9/25/2022 8:36 pm : link
and win 1 in Atlanta - which, given the Mets history there in playoff races, isnt a given. Can this team exorcise the ghosts of 1998-01

We also know that sweeping the Marlins and Nats is not a given, either

Have they said they will alter the rotation?
No need to alter anything  
Snablats : 9/25/2022 9:00 pm : link
They are on track with Carrasco and Walker vs Miami, then the big 3 in Atlanta

Here's a side-by-side look at both teams' remaining schedules:  
Optimus-NY : 9/25/2022 9:03 pm : link


I'd imagine the Mets' pitchers for the last 8 games would be as follows:

9/26 - OFF DAY
9/27 - vs. Marlins - Escobar (going on 7 day rest)
9/28 - vs. Marlins - Walker (going on 7 days rest)
9/29 - OFF DAY
9/30 - @ Braves - Bassitt (going on 7 days rest)
10/1 - @ Braves - deGrom (going on 7 days rest)
10/2 - @ Braves - Scherzer (going on 7 days rest)
10/3 - vs. Nats - Escobar (going on 6 days rest)
10/4 - vs. Nats - Walker (going on 6 days rest)
10/5 - vs. Nats - Bassitt (going on 5 days rest)



The last game of the regular season against might not be Bassitt's if the division has been decided by then of course, since he's one of the Big 3 going into the playoffs. That start could go to Williams or Peterson if it's a meaningless game, one way or the other.

Or just win 1/2 marlins, 2/3 braves, 2/3 nats..

Which is the 2/3 I've been saying all along!

If the Mets win 6 of their last 8, and one of those 6 wins is against the Braves, then they're guaranteed to win the division.
Sweeping the Marlins would be huge

Not always easy. We will need the bats to be up early

Exactly. The Marlins have a good team ERA, but they're offensively deficient since they fail to score a lot of runs.

I know...look above I put all the scenarios to clinch.

You gave one of them.. yes if we sweep Marlins and Nats then we only have to get 1 v Braves, but we don't NEED to sweep Marlins and Nats
Missed it above  
Optimus-NY : 9/25/2022 9:56 pm : link
Thanks moze :-)

I just hope Escobar and Walker don't shit the bed on Tuesday and Wednesday before going to Atlanta. The Mets desperately need them to pitch well for this upcoming short series and probably in the Nats series toe end the regular season as well.
I have zero faith in Walker
