Manea has let us down and the Mets are getting their butts kicked in Milwaukee and to make matters worse the Braves won earlier today so they are slowly disentegrating.

Breaking Down How the Mets Can Make the 2024 Playoffs

The New York Mets enter Friday tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the second National League Wild Card and one game ahead of the Atlanta Braves for the final playoff spot. The Mets begin a three-game series with the Brewers in Milwaukee with Sean Manaea on the mound, while the Braves host the Royals and the D-Backs host the Padres.

Before breaking it down, let’s do the fun part of looking at the tiebreakers. The first tiebreaker is head-to-head. The Mets hold the tiebreaker with the Padres (5-2) and D-Backs (4-3). The Braves hold the tiebreaker over the D-Backs (5-2) and currently have the tiebreaker (6-5 over the Mets). The Padres and D-Backs season series is knotted at 5-5. The Padres hold the tiebreaker over the Braves, which is why they’ve clinched a playoff spot.

Five Mets Wins (92-70)

This is obviously the clearest one because the Mets hold the tiebreaker with the D-Backs, so if they win out, they’re in no matter what the other teams do. This would make the Mets the second WC team at the very least and could make them the first WC spot if the Padres fail to win more than one game over the weekend.

Four Mets Wins (91-71)

This also means the Mets are in and are guaranteed at least the second WC. Four wins still puts the first WC spot in play if the Padres lose all three games.

This also means the Mets are in and are guaranteed at least the second WC. Four wins still puts the first WC spot in play if the Padres lose all three games.

Three Mets Wins With One Against Braves (90-72)

The first scenario involving the Mets not being guaranteed a playoff spot. The Mets could finish with 90 wins and still not make the playoffs because the Braves would then hold the tiebreaker against them.
Of course, the Mets would still get in if the D-Backs fail to sweep the Padres.

Two Mets Wins With Both Being Against Braves (89-73)

Yup, the Mets could get swept by the Brewers this weekend and still get in. Beating the Braves in both games would guarantee that New York and Atlanta teams are capped at 89 wins, with the Mets holding the tiebreaker.

All Other Scenarios
The Mets winning only two games with none coming against the Braves is where things get really dependent on the series played this weekend.

  • The Mets could actually still make the playoffs if they win only one of their remaining games. They would, of course, need the D-Backs to lose out or the Braves to go 1-4.
  • Zero wins — as it should — means the Mets’ season is over. That, at worst, would leave the D-Backs and Braves with at least 88 wins and the Mets at 87.

Even if the Mets win, they will have to depend on some negative results from other teams in this case to get a place in the Playoffs.

Well, let's see how the Mets play this weekend.

The Mets control their destiny. If they win 5 games, they are in. If the Braves and DBacks lose this weekend, that will help the Mets.

I get it, so it depends on the Mets winning streak.

Baseball is a pretty crazy sport hahaha... There was a time when the Mets were on a terrible losing streak and I didn't think that today would be enough for the team to get a spot in the Playoffs.

MLB is undoubtedly an interesting competition.

162 games is a long season. Every team has losing streaks.

It is grind.

You're right. It's a long and absurd journey.

Hello my friends sports lovers!

Mais um threadcast.

Flamengo foi eliminado ontem pelo Peñarol.

Uma eliminação vexatória. Flamengo acumula vexames.

Pior eliminação.

A semifinal agora ficará entre Botafogo x Peñarol.

Gabigol não dá mais para continuar no Flamengo.

Tite não soube comandar seu time na noite desta quinta feira.

A torcida do Peñarol fez uma linda festa ontem a noite.

Os jogadores precisam de mais raça.

Alguma coisa deve ser feita.
