The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves will make up the two games that were postponed due to hurricane Helene today in a doubleheader to determine who will make the playoffs. There are two Wildcard spots left unclaimed and the Arizona Diamondbacks are also in contention. Dan details the clinching scenarios and wonders if the Mets and Braves couldn’t each just forfeit a game.
Dan Patrick: “If you’re the Mets and Braves, can you just say we’re going to forfeit these two games? There’s a lot of speculation there that, why don’t they just say, ‘Hey, we forfeit these games,’ and then they both make the playoffs? We had Todd (Fritz) reach out to Major League Baseball. Did they respond? ”
Todd Fritz: “They did. I got the word, ‘No...’”
Dan: [LAUGHTER]
