New York Lost To Atlanta With Its Two Best Pitchers

It isn't often that Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer lose on back-to-back nights. But that's exactly what has happened in this weekend's series as the Mets lost 5-2 on Friday night with deGrom on the mound and 4-2 on Saturday with Scherzer getting the start.

New York is now 2-4 SU over its last six games and 3-5 SU over its last eight since going on a 6-0 SU run earlier this month. The Mets head into their final road game of the regular season on Sunday with a 47-33 SU record away from home in 2022.

Atlanta Can Take Firm Control Of The NL East With A Win On Sunday

Matt Olson and Dansby Swanson both went 2-for-4 with a home run, a run and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Mets. These two home runs came off of Max Scherzer one night after Olson and Swanson both homered off of Jacob deGrom.

The Braves now have a one-game lead in the NL East standings over the Mets with the season series between these two clubs tied at 9-9 SU apiece. If Atlanta wins, it would take a two-game lead atop the division and hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. Atlanta is 6-1 SU over its last seven games.

Mets vs Braves Pick & Insights

Mets: Keys To Victory

The Mets are 14-0 SU in the last 14 games that they have scored five or more runs in and 1- 12 SU in the last 13 games they've scored four runs or less in. New York will clearly have to produce some offense to avoid a sweep with a Mets vs Braves prediction win on Sunday night.

Braves: Keys To Victory

Charlie Morton has allowed four earned runs or more in four of his last six starts. Atlanta's offense is good enough to win in a shootout, but getting a better effort out of Morton in this important game will make the path to victory as a Mets vs Braves pick a lot easier for Atlanta.
