WASHINGTON – At this point, the National League East has the most exciting division race in baseball. As the division hangs in the balance, the Braves and Mets have a crucial three-game series at Truist Park this weekend.
That is, if Hurricane Ian does not interrupt their plans.
The storm could bring heavy rain to Atlanta this weekend, putting the series in jeopardy. The issue here: The Braves and Mets need to play these games because they will go a long way in determining who wins the division. The regular season is almost over, and only one off-day separates the teams’ regular-season finale and the start of the wild-card round (in which the NL East’s second-place team will play).
