Atlanta Braves vs New York Mets Prediction: The Braves will confirm their status

If Atlanta beats the New York Mets in the upcoming game, they will catch up with their main NL East division rival in terms of wins. Will the Braves accomplish the task? Let's pick a few bets at once.

By the end of the first half of the regular season, the Braves caught up with the New York Mets and are now just 1.5 wins behind their National League East Division rival.

In the previous game, which was the second in a series between the rivals at Truist Park, Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strader pitched well, allowing just 1 run in 4.2 innings. Tyler Matzek earned the win for Peter, with a save by A.J. Minter. Adam Duvall and Matt Olson each hit a two-run home run.

Charlie Morton will pitch for Atlanta in the upcoming game, going 5-3 and with a 4.21 ERA in 17 starts this season.

The New York Mets' handicap over their NL East rivals was just recently 10+ wins. Now, the team is just 1.5 wins ahead of their next game against Atlanta. The Mets have slumped noticeably over the championship distance.

Last game, the New Yorkers failed at bat, scoring just 1 run, although they struck out a good 5 hitters. The pitching loss went to starter David Peterson - 2 injuries in 5.1 innings, with 9 strikeouts.

The Mets starting pitcher for the upcoming game is Chris Bassitt, 6-6 and a 3.94 ERA in 16 games.

In the second game of the home series against the New York Mets, Atlanta proved to be the better team. Playing a little better than their opponent, Brian Snitker's team won the game convincingly. It's likely that the Braves will outplay their main rival in the upcoming game and take the season series lead.
