With their slimmest of playoff hopes further dimmed by the Mets this past weekend, the Braves can now look toward a week that could enhance optimism about how good their starting rotation might be when finally whole again in 2026.

There would be no such luck for the Braves this time around, as the Mets brought their bats with them down South and spent most of this series bludgeoning Atlanta at the plate. Fortunately, the Braves were able to stop the onslaught and get a small dose of payback in order to end the season series on a winning note but the Mets were still able to take out a little bit of frustration on the Braves during this series.
