The New York Mets still have the best record in the NL East — they lead Atlanta by four games in the loss column entering play Thursday.
The Mets will host the Braves for five games over the next four days, as the two teams are scheduled for a doubleheader on Saturday.
While the Braves were perhaps more active at the trade deadline — acquiring outfielder Robbie Grossman and reliever Raisel Iglesias — the Mets have also gotten a boost from the recent return of ace pitcher Jacob deGrom, who is scheduled to start the final game of this series on Sunday.
Atlanta will have to wait until September for the return of their second baseman Ozzie Albies.
