Atlanta Braves vs New York Mets Prediction: Another close contest expected

On Thursday, Major League Baseball action will take place at Truist Park, featuring a matchup between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves. The first game of the series was won by the New York Mets by a score of six runs, but the second game was won by the Atlanta Braves in a close contest.

During the game on Tuesday, the Atlanta Braves held a 4-3 lead at one point, but they were able to give it up during the next inning. However, Marcell Ozuna had a good game, going 2-for-4 with two solo home runs. The Atlanta Braves had nine hits as a team on Wednesday, but only four individuals managed to get one for themselves. Both Marcell Ozuna and Eddie Rosario hit home runs, while Eddie Rosario drove in two runs. Marcell Ozuna had three hits. Thursday's game will begin with Charlie Morton on the mound for the team. Morton had a record of 12-10 on the season with a 3.54 ERA and 146 strikeouts in 134.2 innings pitched over his 24 starts. In his last seven starts combined, Morton has a record of 3-4 with a 3.82 earned run average.

In the first game of this series, which took place on Tuesday, the New York Mets emerged victorious with a score of 10-4 after collecting 14 hits as a team. Home runs were hit by Francisco Lindor, DJ Stewart, and Rafael Ortega, all of whom play for the New York Mets. Lindor drove in three runs, and Stewart and Ortega each drove in two. Despite their best efforts, the New York Mets were unable to overcome an early 3-0 disadvantage and ended up losing game two by a score of 3-2. Daniel Vogelbach's two-run homer served as the game-winning RBI. Jose Quintana will take the mound for the final game for the New York Mets as the team's starting pitcher. Quintana has made six starts so far this season and has a record of 1-4 with a 3.03 ERA and 25 strikeouts across 35.2 innings pitched. Quintana has compiled a career record of 90-91 and a 3.73 earned run average.

In this matchup, I'm going to continue to back the Atlanta Braves. However, the line is a little bit too thick to play around with. Since Morton is throwing effectively at the moment, we may anticipate that he will have a successful start here. Morton has gone 2-0 in his most recent pair of games, during which he has allowed zero earned runs on seven hits and eight walks in 11.0 innings. As for Quintana, he has a record of just 1-2 in his previous three, but he has performed admirably despite allowing five runs in a total of 18.0 innings pitched. The Atlanta Braves had five players go hitless on Wednesday, but the rest of the club was able to make up for it and win the game. The Atlanta Braves have won their previous five games, all of which have included at least three runs scored by their offense, and I don't see that trend changing in this third game.
