Braves vs Mets Prediction
The current betting odds have the Mets listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Braves haven't looked good in their games this season with their 36-41 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NL East. They have been a terrible road team too with their 14-26 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Mets have looked really good in their games this season with their 46-33 record overall which has them right near the top of the NL East. They have also looked great in their own ballpark with their 27-11 home record. The Braves have been red hot lately as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games while the Mets have been in a terrible slump, going 1-9 in their last 10 games, but the Mets are going to be desperate to turn things around and they have the much better pitching matchup here to take advantage of. Holmes is on the mound for the Mets in this one and he has looked great in his starts this season. He is 7-4 with a 3.04 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs all year. He did give up 3 earned runs in his last start and the team has lost 2 games in a row now with him starting too, but he will be looking to bounce back with a better start along with the team as a whole looking to bounce back too. The Braves are going with Fuentes in this one and he is a rookie that doesn't have a lot of experience pitching in the MLB at all. He is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA since he gave up 4 earned runs in 5 innings in his only MLB start, his team losing that game too. The Mets haven't been putting up a ton of runs lately, but they still have one of the best offenses in the MLB and they are going to be able to put up some runs on this rookie so this is a great situation for them to bounce back in. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mets to win this game.
