As we enter mid-September, the baseball season is coming to an end. Both New York teams have some work to do to make the playoffs and get their teams ready.

The Mets are in a much better place than the Yankees even though they have almost identical records. Their Magic Number is 16 and the fact that we are now talking about magic numbers is a good thing. The NL East will be determined by next Sunday, since the Mets play both Atlanta and Philly at home and finish the season against below .500 Washington and Florida.

The Yankees need a major collapse from Boston to take the East. The good news from the Yankees is that history is on their side and they play Boston three times at home this weekend. So the Yankees can attempt to take the East this week. If they are not 1 game out by the end of next Sunday, they better turn their attention to the wild card.

The playoffs are not a question for the Yankees, they team knows how to play in September and will obtain a slot through the wild card at least. But the Yankees should focus on wining the East, the playoffs will be easier that way and the Yankees will have more home field advantage and be less of an underdog having made a statement by catching Boston.

The Mets look like they will clinch around September 24th or 25th (let's hope for the 25th since Steve has tickets). That will give them a few tune up games to get their playoff pitching rotation in order and enough at-bats for the bench and ample rest for the position players going in to face the wild card (most likely San Diego.) The Yankees will be tired, but have momentum on their side.

Come October it is all injuries and luck. Anything can happen. Whatever happens, as long as the NY teams make the playoffs and do ok, it was a good season.
