If each team wins a game in this doubleheader, the Mets and Braves will clinch a playoff spot. However, if either team loses both games, the losing team will not advance to the postseason.

The Braves failed to secure their spot in the playoffs last night as they lost 4-2 to the Kansas City Royals. During the loss, Atlanta’s designated hitter Marcell Ozuna had major issues at the plate. He finished the game 0-4, so he needs to improve his performance this afternoon.

Notably, Ozuna leads the team with 39 home runs and 102 RBI this season.

The Mets improved their playoff chances by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 5-0 yesterday. Francisco Lindor played well in the win, hitting a home run and recording two RBI. He will be a key player to watch this afternoon as he currently leads the team with a .272 batting average.
