Mets, Braves Face Off in Crucial Doubleheader

The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves face a high-stakes doubleheader today to determine the final two National League wild-card spots. Each team needs just one win to secure a playoff berth, with the Arizona Diamondbacks' fate also hanging in the balance. If either team sweeps, they will advance alongside the Diamondbacks who will take the last spot; if the Mets and Braves split, Arizona is eliminated. The Mets will start Tylor Megill in Game 1 and potentially Luis Severino in Game 2, while the Braves will counter with Spencer Schwellenbach and Chris Sale. The games, postponed due to Hurricane Helene, will be broadcast on ESPN2, starting at 1:10 p.m. ET.
