Hurricane Helene Pushes Mets-Braves Series To Monday Doubleheader 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Sep 26, 2024 11:56 am

The final two games of a crucial series between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves were postponed Wednesday by heavy rains ahead of Hurricane Helene.

The two clubs will now play a doubleheader in Atlanta on Monday. The regular season ends for the rest of Major League Baseball on Sunday.

New York plays three games in Milwaukee against the Brewers beginning Friday, while the Braves have a weekend series against the Kansas City Royals.

The Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks are tied in the wild-card race, with the Braves a full game back. Two of those teams will make the playoffs, which are set to begin Tuesday with the best-of-three wild-card round.

There is a chance the doubleheader would not be needed if the playoff race is settled by Sunday.
