The Mets have only made the postseason 4 times in the last 20 years.
Meanwhile, the Yankees have made the postseason 15 times in the last 20 years.
The battle for New York also includes 27 World Series Championships for the Yankees and only 2 for the Mets.
Needless to say, Mets fans are enjoying their team’s success this season and are eager to cheer them on in the 2024 postseason.
With star player and MVP candidate Francisco Lindor expected back for the last 2 series of the year, the Mets are prepared for the final stretch.
Tuesday marks the start of the most important series of the year for the Mets as they take on the Atlanta Braves for 3 games.
The Braves are 2 games back of both the Mets and the Diamondbacks for the last wild-card spot in the National League.
After the Braves series concludes, the Mets will end the season with a 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers in Milwaukee.
The Mets are 7-3 in their last 10 games and will look to roll their hot streak over into the last week of the season.
