The Mets will play Game 154 of their season on Friday, long removed from the NL wild-card race and not even in the rear-view mirror of the Braves, who are coasting to another NL East title.

It’s almost hard to believe the two teams finished with identical records a year ago (101-61) with Atlanta winning the division thanks to a tiebreaker.

The Mets went on to lose to the Padres in the wild-card round. The Braves fell to the Phillies in the NLDS during Philadelphia’s surprising run to the World Series.

A year later, the Braves are widely viewed as the best team in the majors — having already clinched a sixth straight division title — and look to be set up for years to come while the Mets are left waiting for new president of baseball operations, David Stearns, to finally take over after the regular season to reshape the organization.
