New York Mets Form
New York sealed their spot in the playoffs by finishing second in the National League East with an 89-73 record.
The Mets began the season with a five-game losing run and blew hot and cold during the first couple of months of the campaign.
They kept themselves in the mix however, and a good run during the summer, including a nine-game win streak, helped them secure a postseason berth.
New York now face a Milwaukee team that beat them in two of the three meetings in Wisconsin last week.
The Mets go into this series having split a regular season double-header in Atlanta on Monday, winning 8-7 before losing 3-0.
