The Mets suffered a serious blow to their hold on the National League East this week, getting swept for three games by the Cubs at Citi Field. They head into Game 1 against the Pirates with just a 0.5-game lead over the Braves in the division.

If they can regain ground on any team, though, it’s the Pirates, who are last in the NL Central and second to last in the National League overall with a 55-88 record. But the Pirates are surging on a 4-game road win streak, which they’ll hope to maintain against the Mets.
