Before Betting
The New York Mets face the Atlanta Braves in Game 2 of this three-game series. The Mets lost Game 1, 5-1, and now risk dropping out of the wild card picture.
The Mets are 87-70, 6-4 in their last ten games, and 41-35 on the road. For most of this month, New York has played great baseball and jumped ahead of the Braves. Now, that streak could be reversing.
New York struggled in Game 1, with their big bats being shut down as the team managed only four hits.
The Braves are 86-71, also 6-4 in their last ten games, and have won three in a row. During that stretch, their offense has averaged around five runs, while the pitching has been improving.
Atlanta came ready to play in Game 1. Their top players stepped up, with Michael Harris II going three for four, scoring two runs, driving in two RBIs, and hitting a solo home run.
If the Mets want to secure a win in Game 2, they need to find some early offense. Their star players must step up in these playoff-like games.
The starting pitcher for the Mets is David Peterson, who is 9-3 with a 3.08 ERA. Peterson is 1-2 in September, and his performances have been inconsistent. He faced the Braves once this season, giving up four runs, walking three, and ultimately losing the game.
The starting pitcher for the Braves is Chris Sale, who boasts an impressive 18-3 record and a 2.38 ERA. Sale is a strong contender for the NL Cy Young award. He is 3-0 in September, with two of those games featuring zero runs allowed.
Sale faced the Mets on the road, pitching 7.1 innings, allowing two hits and two runs, while striking out nine batters.
Mets vs Braves Prediction
The Braves easily defeated the Mets in Game 1 and have all the momentum. Peterson will try to keep the Mets in the game, but Sale is expected to shut down the New York offense, while Atlanta’s key players aim to come through once again.
