Atlanta Braves, hot on the heels of a seven-game winning streak and sitting atop their division, head to New York to battle the struggling Mets—despite the Mets holding a slight edge in their head-to-head series. With a solid 62-43 record, the Braves face a Mets squad at 44-62, but the pitching duel could tilt the scales: Braves’ Martin Perez (6-6, 3.38 ERA) takes on Mets’ Zach Thornton (1-1, 1.93 ERA), who’s been electric in limited appearances. The oddsmakers favor Atlanta, but the game’s tight—with an over/under of 8.5 runs. Both teams are missing key players, including Acuña Jr. and Murphy for the Braves, and multiple starters for the Mets. Expect a high-stakes, injury-impacted showdown where offense could explode—or grind to a halt.
