In other words, if the Mets secure the tiebreaker, they then automatically qualify for the playoffs.

So the Mets magic number is five, but really, they would clinch a playoff spot by beating the Braves twice.

If the Braves were to take two of three from the Mets, they'd still be one game behind the Mets in the standings, but with the tiebreaker now in their favor. In that case, the two teams would go into the last weekend of the season essentially tied, if not mathematically tied, because of the tiebreaker.

I'm not sure they'd be "essentially tied".

If the Mets win one of the three games in Atlanta, they would be 88-71, and the Braves would be 87-72.

That's still an advantage. Ignoring the Diamondbacks, if the Mets and the Braves went on to have the same record over the last three-game series, the Mets would win the playoff spot.

Yes. If the Braves won two of three from the Mets, they'd still have to do one game better than the Mets over the rest of the season.

Actually, that tiebreaker would not be meaningless even though the Mets would clinch a playoff spot by taking two of three from the Braves. The Braves could lose two of three to the Mets and still make the playoffs. The DBacks might collapse the rest of the way and end up being the odd team out, and the Braves could end the season in a tie with the Mets. In that case, the tiebreaker would give the Mets the fifth seed and the Braves the sixth seed.

A Mets sweep of the Braves, however, would guarantee that the Mets finish the season with a better record than the Braves and would moot that tiebreaker

That was a long, baseball-less Monday in our household, but we comforted ourselves with visions of a healing Francisco Lindor. Whether or not the Mets start Lindor all three games in Atlanta, the Mets could end up writing three different secondbasemen into the lineup card in three days. A lot of very interesting options with two lefties going against them in the series.

Our household is also not treating the Phils' clinching as official. As far as we're concerned, in the unlikely event that the Mets and Philadelphia finish with the same record, the Mets will be co-division champions, and any tiebreakers are in place only to determine playoff seedings.

The other exciting news from last night, as noted above, is the Mets gaining a half game on the Diamondbacks, who go into the final week of the season having locked up nothing, secured nothing, and virtually clinched nothing. All of America must become Giants fans.

Clinching in Atlanta takes on an added urgency for Carlos Mendoza's team, as that eight-run comeback suggests the Brewers may be clicking on more cylinders than the Mets.

Playoff baseball.

The Mets have announced their intent to use José Quintana to open the Milwaukee series. The Brewers are mum thus far.

The Giants are throwing a thus-far-unimpressive rookie Mason Black at the Diamondbacks, so that's one more reason for squeaks. Bad-assed name, though.

Severino is on schedule to go again in Game #162, but I hope he has volunteered for bullpen duty before then if so needed. It's all-hands-on-deck time.

This is the closest that can be gleaned from all the public commenting and insiders reports regarding who will be starters for the Mets and Braves (and Brewers) going forward. Obviously, this is a snapshot that is subject to change — change that can come from day to day or hour to hour.

One advantage the Mets have is that they are not trying to aggressively hide the #5 spot in the rotation, so if it comes down to the last game, it looks likely that the Braves will be looking to Chris Sale on short rest.

If this is the sequence for the Mets, on the other hand, they should be well rested all around, with Sean Manea ready to go in any playoff opener.

Chris Sale will actually be on extra rest.

Max Fried Friday. Outside of that, the Braves have not announced their rotation. I think their idea is to somehow get to Monday, then throw Sale and Schwellenbach against the Mets. I guess their feeling is that KC may have clinched by Saturday, and may be resting their starters.

It will be interesting to see how the Mets counter. It's possible that Sunday's game could be meaningless for the purposes of Mets/Braves. And depending on how the Diamondbacks, meaningless altogether. So you definitely don't burn a starter on that game.

Things may (likely) be meaningless for the Brewers this weekend too. A bullpen game could make sense Saturday or Sunday, and especially so if a clinch in advance of the DH Monday can’t happen.

This also is a situation where the Mets are probably well served by keeping quietly publicly about their plans. Why give Atlanta more info?

I don't know what to make of it. Basically the Braves have 5 games and are currently the team on the outside looking in. Barring an Arizona collapse, it's not likely that Monday's games won't matter. Pitching Sale Friday means he's available for Game 2 of the WC series. Holding him back another day means he might miss the WC round altogether.

It's a move that only makes sense if your goal is to eliminate the Mets, rather than advance in the post-season.

Using ace starting pitchers in relief is not new.
For example, Carl Hubbell had 33 career saves and Sandy Koufax had 9.
The possibility of seeing Sale in relief is not out of the question.

There have been a few leaks from sources close to the team's thinking, but the bottom line is that reports on who is starting for which team are changing by the hour. The good news is that most everybody agrees that, after putting Frankie Montas forward this evening, the Brewers should be following that up with rotation backenders. These are still big league pitchers for a team that just won their division, though, so the Mets still have to focus hard and take care of business.

I'm attracted to the notion that the Mets still intend to spring Kodai Senga and Paul Blackburn on some unsuspecting team, for a choice inning here or there, but you can't win on fantasies.

It's Friday, and the Mets are 0-1 since Sunday. If Lindor doesn't help them get their mojo back, I hope something does.

The Brave take the world (or me, anyhow) by surprise by activating Reynaldo Lopez from the Injured List for today's start. What kind of quality and/or length they get from him is anybody's guess, but the gauntlet is down. The Mets should activate Kodai Senga in response. Or maybe R.A. Dickey or Dwight Gooden.

The Brewers are giving the Mets a real opening, sending out Jared Koenig, who has only started five games in 54 appearances this season, so we can likely expect a whole bunch of guys to get work in regardless of the score. We'll see if they are able and willing to throw down with the same effort as yesterday.

I don't know if it's been noted here before, but like the Mets, the Braves also have the tie-breaker advantage over Arizona. So if we end in a three-way tie, the Diamondbacks will find themselves on the outside.

Sorry to be late, but was updating my operating system.

Yeah, it's amazing how the Diamondbacks are in the situation the are, considering the play of the Mets.

It would be something if the Diamondbacks are on the outside looking in at the end of the day, and Mets and Braves each agree to forfeit half of the doubleheader.

Indications at this hour indicate both teams intend to use their junior partner in Game One before going to their All-Star vet in game two.

The Mets go into the season's last day with a 16-8 (.667) record in September, currently equalling their June mark (with a chance to surpass it) for their best month of the season.

Bums have been reportedly heard squeaking up and down the coast.
