NY Post:  Mets playoff hopes hinge on surviving gauntlet finish. "First, the good news: The Mets enter Friday a full game ahead of the Braves for the final NL wild-card spot with just 16 games to go and have matched a season-best by being 14 games over .500. Now for the not-so-good news: Starting with Friday’s series opener in Philadelphia against the first-place Phillies, the Mets have the toughest schedule the rest of the way."


SNY.TV: Mets at Phillies: 5 things to watch and series predictions | Sept. 13-15. "Is the Mets' offense about to break out?", "The Phillies are banged up but very dangerous", "New York's bullpen is well-rested, and possibly realigned" and "Luis Severino has been rolling" are among the items discussed.

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:
Transactions:

New York Mets sold 
Chuck Taylor to the Milwaukee Brewers on September 13, 1972.

Cincinnati Reds claimed Pedro Martinez of the New York Mets on waivers on September 13, 1996.


1963
On Friday the 13th, hard luck hurler Roger Craig, en route to his 21st loss of the season, allows the lone run of the game to score after getting the first two outs in the ninth inning in the Mets' 1-0 loss to Houston at the Polo Grounds. The defeat marks the fifth time the New York right-hander has dropped a 1-0 decision this season.
1968
Jerry Koosman ties the National League rookie record when he hurls his seventh shutout of the season, blanking Pittsburgh on just three singles. The left-hander's 2-0 victory, the Mets' 67th win of the season - a franchise high, equals the mark shared by Irving Young (Braves, 1905) and Grover Cleveland Alexander (Phillies, 1911).

1983
Mike Fitzgerald becomes the 48th major leaguer to hit a home run in his first big-league at-bat. The Mets rookie backstop's second-inning homer of Tony Ghelfi contributes to a 5-1 victory over Philadelphia at Veterans Stadium.
2015
The Braves extend their franchise-record home-game losing streak, dropping a dreadful 10-7 ten-inning decision to the Mets for their 12th consecutive loss at Turner Field. Atlanta was leading 7-4 before Daniel Murphy's three-run tied the game after the first two batters were retired in the top of the ninth inning.



Baseball Reference:


1997: The Mets, down 6 - 0 with one strike to go in the bottom of the 9th, rally to tie the ExposCarl Everett ties the game with a grand slam. Two innings later, Bernard Gilkey hits a three-run homer to end it, 9 - 6. Facing Dustin Hermanson, the Mets manage just one hit through the first eight innings, and that is a blooper by Carlos Mendoza, his first major league hit. Two singles and two relievers later the Mets tie it. John Franco is the winner over Steve Kline.
