Mets vs Braves prediction
The Braves are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re the better team and at home. However, Winans hasn’t pitched since September of last year, and he wasn’t great last season in 6 starts, allowing 19 runs in 32.1 innings. Quintana has been in the league forever and has had his ups and downs, but he’s allowed just 3 runs through his first 10.1 innings. Also, the Mets are going to score runs eventually, as the lineup has too much talent to keep these struggles up. The value is with the Mets and the big plus money. Give me the Mets.
