New York Mets losing the division proved to be costly

Wild Card Series - San Diego Padres vs. New York Mets - Game 3. The New York Mets' collapse against the Atlanta Braves in the final week of the season proved to be costly. They could have won the division by winning the series, but instead they got swept. Instead of watching the Braves potentially lose to the Padres in the Wild Card, it was them. The sudden end of the season is quite disappointing for a team that won 101 games. Especially when they could have avoided the Wild Card round completely. The New York Mets must keep this sour taste in their mouths and come out with a vengeance next season. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
