The Braves are coming into this game with a 10-13 record overall and they are 4-6 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Texas Rangers 2-1 and they are playing the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Mets on Tuesday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener on Monday and the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday afternoon. Charlie Morton is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday in game 1 while Kyle Wright is on the mound for them here on Tuesday in game 2. He is 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA this season. His team won all 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 4 BB with 8 Ks on 3 hits in 7 IP against the Chicago Cubs. They scored 10 runs in their last series averaging just over 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 13 runs against them averaging just over 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Mets are coming into this game with a 16-7 record overall and they are 7-3 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 and they are playing the 2rd game of a 4-game series with the Braves on Tuesday night. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Tuesday night with the series opener on Monday and the 2nd game on Tuesday afternoon still to be played. Carlos Carrasco is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday in game 1 while there is no probable pitcher yet on the mound for them here on Tuesday in game 2. They scored 14 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging just under 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Braves are coming into this 2nd game of a double-header and they have not had a great start to their season as they are sitting under .500 with their current record but they are starting to play better in their games recently and it is very hard to sweep a double-header in the MLB. The Braves will likely split this with the Mets but the Mets have a better chance winning the first game so it is more likely that the Braves will win this game. The Braves also have Wright starting who has been pitching very well this season and he should offer a deep start for the Braves here. The Braves have a better chance of taking game 2 in this double-header. The best bet here is on the Braves to win this game.

"That's what it's about. Coming here and having your ballclub win. It's not about me. It's not about my stuff. It's about going out there and doing everything you can for the team to come out with a win. That's why tonight's a great night. Everybody had a hand in it." - Max Scherzer after their win against the Phillies on Sunday.
