They enter this game with a 53-33 record overall and have a road record of 25-18. This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Braves on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Their offense ranks 10th in the MLB with a .725 OPS. Max Scherzer is their starting pitcher on Monday while David Peterson is making his start in this game on Tuesday. He is 5-1 with a 3.48 ERA this season. His team won their last 2 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 HR, and 5 BB with 7 Ks on 4 hits through 3.2 IP against the Cincinnati Reds. 

 

The Braves enter this game on a 3 game winning streak. They won their last series against the Washington Nationals 3-0 completing the sweep in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 52-35 record overall and have a home record of 30-18. This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Mets on Tuesday with the 1st game still to be played on Monday. Their offense ranks 3rd in the MLB with a .761 OPS. Max Fried is on the mound on Monday while Spencer Strider will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Tuesday. He is 4-2 with a 2.60 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 12 Ks on 2 hits through 6 IP against the St. Louis Cardinals. 

The current betting odds have the Braves listed as a favorite in this game. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they just swept the Nationals in their last series and they have been one of the hottest teams in the MLB since the start of June. They have been hitting well and they have been pitching well which makes them a very tough team to beat and they are very close to overtaking the Mets in the NL East so they will be focused on winning this series and making that happen. The Mets have Peterson starting here and he has been good this season but he does not get many starts and has really been filling in for some of these injuries to their starters. The Mets have also not been hitting the ball very well in recent games and that is going to be trouble against the Braves here. The bats for the Braves are still hot and they also have Strider starting in this game who has been nasty with his pitches all season, striking out a heavy number of batters in each start he makes. That is going to be a problem for a Mets team that has not been hitting well and the Braves will likely clean up at home here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Braves to win this game.

"I said before the game, in order to compete with a starter like that, you've got to get a good start out of your starter, and we certainly did. He matched him. That was fun to watch. He knows what's going on and what's required to compete in a game like that." - Buck Showalter after his team’s loss against the Marlins on Sunday.

 

 

"It's hard to win a major league game against anybody. We've got to keep doing what we're doing." - Brian Snitker after his team’s win against the Nationals on Sunday.
