Braves vs Mets picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 4, Braves 3

Money line

BET ON THE METS (-110).

While Lopez has been an All-Star caliber starter for the Braves, they have lost 3 of his last 4 starts. Atlanta is just 3-7 in their last 10 games, including 1-6 in their last 7, and the Braves are 2-3 in their last 5 road games. They have scored 4 or fewer runs in each of their last 6 games while the Mets have scored 8 or more runs in 2 of their last 4.

Racing Line/Against the Spread

PASS.

There is no value on the running line in this game.

More less

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

Lopez and Peterson both have low ERAs and are good at limiting runners. The Braves have scored 4 or fewer runs in each of their last 6 games, while the Mets have scored 4 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 9 games. Expect a slower game due to the better pitching.
