The race for the National League wild card could extend past the end of the regular season.
Two critical games between the Mets and Braves in Atlanta have been postponed due to the incoming Hurricane Helene.
The games, originally scheduled for today and Thursday, will now be played as a doubleheader on Monday if the result impacts the playoff race.
The Mets and Braves each have five games remaining this season. Entering Wednesday, the Mets (87-70) sit second in the NL wild-card race. The Diamondbacks (87-71) are in the third spot, and the Braves (86-71) are half a game back.
The Mets play three games at Milwaukee, while Atlanta hosts Kansas City for three games beginning Friday.
The MLB regular season ends Sunday, and the wild-card round begins on Tuesday.
