The Braves are coming into this game with a 11-13 record overall and they are 5-6 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the Texas Rangers 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Mets on Wednesday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Wednesday with the 2nd and 3rd games still to be played on Tuesday. Kyle Wright is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday in game 2 while Ian Anderson is on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 2-1 with a 4.66 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 5 Ks on 3 hits in 6 IP against the Texas Rangers. 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 16-8 record overall and they are 7-4 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Braves on Wednesday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Wednesday night with the 2nd and 3rd games still to be played on Tuesday. Carlos Carrasco is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday in game 2 while Tylor Megill is on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 4-0 with a 1.93 ERA this season. His team won all 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 3 BB with 5 strikeouts on 0 hits in 5 innings played against the Philadelphia Phillies. 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 Mets are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. The Mets have had a great start to the season and they already feel like a whole new franchise with the way their team has been performing in their recent games. They are going up against a Braves side that is off to a slow start and has not been hitting the ball very well this season, scoring mainly with homers in their games. The Mets have a much better roster this season from top to bottom and they are just a better team than the Braves are. Megill has had a great start to the season and the Mets have won every game that he has played in so far. Anderson is coming off of a bad start and if he has another one here then he will put his team in a hole that they will not be able to get out of with how bad they have been hitting. The Mets are going to dominate this division this season and this series. The best bet here is on the Mets to win this game.
