Baseball reference gives the Mets a 63% chance at winning the division and Atlanta a 37% chance. Based on their simulations of the rest of the season.
No other team has a realistic chance. Philadelphia has rounded up a 97% chance of making the playoffs.
The NL East has almost a sure chance of having 3 playoff teams.
This weekend the Braves have a tough series against another division leader while the Mets are playing a team who entered the season not even trying to make the playoffs.
They do not play each other again until late Sept/Early Oct
This weekend could be a make or break for both teams.
