On Monday, the Mets and Nationals will play the first of three games.
The Yankees are coming off a weekend loss to the Braves, who swept their three-game series at Truist Park.
They did it in style, defeating the Mets’ top starters on three consecutive days: Jacob deGrom on Friday, Max Scherzer on Saturday, and Chris Bassitt on Sunday.
As a result, the Braves have taken over first place in the National League East. Atlanta leads by two games with three regular-season games remaining.
The Braves won five of the last six games of their series against the Mets, outscoring them 42-19.
New York had a 12-game lead on June 1 but is now the team with the lowest standings this season.
If the Braves win or the Mets lose, the defending World Series champions will win their fifth straight division title.
