The Mets would be wise to heed the words of Yogi Berra.

Berra passed away late Tuesday and the Mets had a moment of silence for their former manager Wednesday night at Citi Field.

Considering what happened in their 6-3 loss to the lowly Braves, the Mets still have work to do before they start making postseason plans.

Like Yogi said: It ain’t over ’til it’s over.

This isn’t Panic City, yet, but it’s not a good vibe around the Mets as they dropped two straight to the Braves and head out to play two more terrible teams — the Reds and Phillies — before finishing the season at home with a three-spot against the Nationals.

The Mets can be thankful the Nationals continue to be chokers.

Washington dropped a 4-3 decision to the Orioles to lower the Mets’ magic number to five.

The highlight of the night for the Mets happened in the food room. That’s where they saw the Nationals lose.

“It’s always nice when that magic number shrinks,’’ David Wright said. “Ultimately, we’d like to play better and have that magic number shrink because we’re winning.’’

That would be nice. Right now, backing into the postseason is the favored mode of transportation for the Mets.

If the Mets don’t clean it up, they could be scrambling instead of setting up their postseason plans to perfection.

“It was a poor homestand, but we have some of those young horses going in Cincinnati so maybe we can go win a series and get that much closer,’’ Wright said.

Wright singled in the seventh to tie the game at 3-3, but Freddie Freeman’s three-run home run in the ninth off closer Jeurys Familia was the difference. It was the first home run Familia had allowed since July 30.

Freeman also ripped a pinch-hit double to drive in two runs in the seventh to put the Braves on top, 3-2.

“Freddie is a thorn in our side and I wasn’t expecting to see him [because of a wrist injury]. So he comes off the bench and kills us again,’’ Wright said. “I’ll be glad to get rid of him and Andrelton Simmons and everybody else that beats us up over there.”

The Braves, by the way, are 62-91, so it’s not like they are any good — though Wright and manager Terry Collins talked them up like the Greg Maddux Braves.

The Mets have lost five of their last six series at home and are 6-12 in their last 18 games at Citi Field dating to Aug. 14. It’s a home horror show.

Maybe the Mets shouldn’t grab home-field advantage in the NLDS.

Right now the Mets are a team that has lost its edge. They don’t look or act like a playoff team. There is no swagger to the Mets, other than Yoenis Cespedes.

As an offense, it looks like they are just going through the motions, when they should be going for the kill. They have lost their killer instinct and they need to get that back. They also have been playing without much emotion of late.

Until the Mets get rid of the Ghosts of 2007-08, this will be a team with self-doubts.

When the Mets get to Cincinnati, perhaps they will have T-shirts at their lockers proclaiming: “Finish the job!’’

On Wednesday night, the Mets allowed Freeman, the only true power hitter in the Braves lineup, to do them in and he didn’t even start the game.

Since 2012, Freeman has 15 home runs and 61 RBIs against the Mets.

The Mets could use a little offense like that before it’s too late.

Wright said he knows it’s a problem.

“We need to do a better job offensively of tacking on runs — we had chances and let them off the hook,’’ he said.

Again, it’s the Braves.

The Dodgers in the playoffs will be another story — especially facing Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, who was scratched from Wednesday night’s start because of a sore calf.

“Right now we’re not giving our pitchers much room for error,’’ Wright said.

Heed Yogi’s words, Mets, and get this over.
