Pick

Atlanta comes into this series playing great and they lead the season series with the Mets, winning eight of the ten Games so far. The Braves are 42-21 at home this year, while New York is 27-39 on the road. The Mets have played better in their last couple of series, but can they keep up with this high scoring Atlanta lineup? New York is starting David Peterson, who has allowed three earned runs in his last 14.1 innings pitched. Atlanta is starting Allan Winans, who has allowed two earned runs in 11.1 innings this year. Winans did throw seven shutout innings against the Mets last weekend. I like the Braves -1.5 in this Game.
