NY Mets vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
I’m not running to the window to get behind either Spencer Schwellenbach or Tylor Megill, especially Megill given he hasn’t pitched in nearly a month. However, the Mets are simply playing the better baseball right now and have to be the more confident group. The Braves are kind of in a free-fall at the moment, and it’s hard to back them with confidence. In a pick em spot, give me the Mets at home based on their current form.
