It all comes down to this. One win and the Mets are in.

The 2024 MLB wild-card race boils down to today’s doubleheader between the Mets and Braves. If the Mets win one game, <a href="https://nypost.com/sports/whats-the-mets-magic-number-2024-mlb-playoff-standings/">they’re in and would face the NL Central champion Brewers</a>. Atlanta would have the No. 5 seed and face the Padres.

If the Braves sweep, they’ll capture the No. 5 seed and face the Padres — and the Diamondbacks would get the No. 6 seed.

And in the last scenario — if the Mets sweep the doubleheader — they’ll capture the No. 5 seed and play the Padres. In this scenario, the Diamondbacks would be the No. 6 seed — and Atlanta would be eliminated.
