New York Looking For Better Results As An Underdog

New York fell to 3-6 in its last nine games as an underdog with Monday night’s setback. Bettors taking New York as their Mets vs Braves prediction on Tuesday will be hoping the Mets can end their struggles as an underdog with an upset victory in this one.

Atlanta Has Heated Up Since Losing 4 Of 5 Against The Mets

The Braves suffered their first three-game losing streak of the season when they dropped three straight games to the Mets earlier this month. Atlanta hasn’t lost a game since then, reeling off a 7-0 run and outscoring opponents 48-20 over that stretch.

Ronald Acuna Jr. and Dansby Swanson both collected three hits and three RBIs in Monday’s win over the Mets. Acuna is enjoying his best month of the season, batting .377 in August with two home runs, 11 runs and nine RBIs in 53 at-bats.

Mets vs Braves Pick & Insights

Mets: Keys To Victory

Taijuan Walker got lit up for eight earned runs in one inning in his last start against the Braves, and in his previous start against Atlanta last season he allowed five earned runs in five innings. Walker has been excellent for the Mets this season, but he’ll need to figure out this Braves lineup for New York to have a shot as a Mets vs Braves prediction.

Braves: Keys To Victory

The Braves starting staff and bullpen have been red-hot over the team’s current winning streak, allowing only 1.8 runs over the last five games. If Charlie Morton can keep that trend going on Tuesday night, Atlanta’s offense should be able to do enough to cash in as a Mets vs Braves pick at home.
