Braves vs Mets Prediction
I don’t trust the Mets given what they’ve done over the last two months, but I’m going to back them here. Despite a poor August, Holmes has a solid 3.64 ERA and 1.34 WHIP on the season, and he has a 3.41 ERA in 60.2 road innings. Quantrill has a 5.50 ERA and 1.39 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 20 hits and 15 runs in his last 12 innings. The Mets are the better team with the better pitcher. The price is insanely low. Give me the Mets on Saturday night.
