Atlanta Braves vs NY Mets Prediction
The NY Mets and the plus money are worth a look as they’re fighting for their wild-card lives. However, it’s the Braves that are playing the better ball down the stretch and have closed the gap on the Mets and Diamondbacks. Chris Sale is also the best pitcher in the NL this season and is the guy you want on the mound when chasing down a playoff spot. Sale has been ridiculous this year, and I’m not stepping in front of him. Give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
