“For a team whose offense has sputtered off and on for weeks now, the Mets might just decide that Gore’s speed is a weapon they can’t live without come October.”

And now the Mets' magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 2.

They will clinch with any win during their upcoming three-game series in Milwaukee.
A ton of Ks. A ton of LOBs. One too many HBPs. Plenty of Es. In the end, a W…and maybe an elusive freebie. Some kinda Final Home Sunday at Citi Field for a guy who doesn’t go to as many Mets games as he used to. #LGM https://t.co/lVP28ykc4W pic.twitter.com/bPoIMPXWkI
