Overview

• Cincinnati beat Milwaukee 3-1 and New York lost 6-2 to Miami on Friday, leaving both clubs 82-78 with two games remaining.
• The Reds won the season series over the Mets 4-2, which serves as the MLB tiebreaker and would award Cincinnati the final NL Wild Card if the teams finish even.
• Cincinnati can clinch with a win and a Mets loss on Saturday, with two Reds wins regardless of New York’s results, or if the Mets lose both remaining games.
• New York advances only by finishing one game better than Cincinnati, which would require two Mets wins plus at least one Reds loss, or at least one Mets win if the Reds lose twice.
• Probables: Reds start Andrew Abbott Saturday vs. Brewers lefty Robert Gasser and Brady Singer Sunday vs. Freddy Peralta; Mets start Clay Holmes Saturday vs. Marlins right-hander Eury Pérez, with Sunday’s starter not yet announced against Edward Cabrera.
