If the Mets are to get another shot at the Atlanta Braves this season, there are two scenarios -- with one much more likely than the other.
The first scenario is the Mets -- as the No. 4 seed and top Wild Card team -- knocking off the San Diego Padres or Philadelphia Phillies in the Wild Card Series, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS, and meeting the Braves in the NLCS -- should Atlanta win what would be an NLDS matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals or Phillies/Padres.
The second scenario -- which would only happen if the Braves lost their next two games to the Miami Marlins and the Mets swept the Washington Nationals (giving the Mets the NL East title and a bye through the Wild Card Series) -- would be a lot easier for New York.
The Mets would have to beat the Cardinals or Phillies/Padres in the NLDS, setting up a potential NLCS matchup with Atlanta if the Braves got through the Wild Card Series and the Dodgers in the NLDS.
With the NL East in the balance this past weekend, the Mets were swept in a three-game series by the Braves, losing the season series 10-9.
And there's at least one Met who wants another shot at the Braves.
