New York Mets vs Atlanta Braves Prediction: Will the Braves win?

The National League East Division leaders, the Braves and Mets, will play another series. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

New York Mets

The previous game was against the season's top underdog, the Washington Nationals. The Mets led 9:0 in the ninth inning but almost missed the win. Michael Givens did not enter the game and allowed five runs in 0.2 innings. As a result, Givens was replaced by Seth Lugo. The Mets got the win (9:5).

The starting pitcher for the Mets in the first game of their regular series with Atlanta is Carlos Carrasco, 11-4, and with a 3.79 ERA in 20 starts this season.

Atlanta Braves

The Mets, winning 2 out of 3 games against Washington, reached a 66-38 balance. On the other hand, Atlanta faced Philadelphia and exchanged wins with the Phillies (13:1, 1:3). The Braves have a 63-42 lead. The team is third in the National League summary table but still behind the New York Mets for the division lead. Atlanta is 3.5 wins behind.

Pitching for the Braves in the upcoming game is Kyle Wright, 13-4 and with a 2.93 ERA in 20 starts in this league.

Expert Betting Tips

Atlanta finished their previous game against Philadelphia a few hours earlier than the Mets. It could be a defining factor in the upcoming match. On top of that, Atlanta needs a win now. Otherwise, the Braves would already be 4.5 wins behind their opponent. The Mets will benefit from the excellent form of Carlos Carrasco, who has not allowed a single run in his past three starts.

In addition to betting on an Atlanta win, you can also consider betting on the total under. In the first head-to-head encounter, Carrasco and Wright combined for just three injuries this season. Something similar may this time as well.
