The Diamondbacks needed some help from the Mets to make the 2024 MLB playoffs. They didn't get it, putting the Braves into the postseason instead.

The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves played out one of the all-time classic MLB doubleheaders on Monday, with both teams sealing their spots in the postseason.

It took an extra day and a memorable doubleheader between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets, but the complete MLB playoff bracket is officially finalized. The New York Yankees are the top seed in the AL playoffs for the first time since 2012, while the Los Angeles Dodgers are the top seed in the NL for the fifth time since 2017.
