Atlanta Braves vs. New York Mets Prediction

I’m backing Atlanta here. The Braves are still one of the better lineups in baseball and the Mets, while needing this series to make up crucial ground in the NL East race, are still fairly inconsistent and can be a hard team to trust game-to-game. I also don’t love this Mets’ lineup against lefties, so give me Atlanta in this one in a bounce back.
