New York Mets vs Atlanta Braves Predictions and Picks
If tonight's odds indicate Holmes will be pitching uphill, it's not because the 32-year-old hurler doesn't provide an edge against Spencer Strider of Atlanta. "Holmes (has) more than enough to give back while moving to the rotation," says Amazin' Avenue's Lukas Vlahos. "He locates his fastball very well."
Rather, the Mets look weakened because the depth chart does. Atlanta has virtually no injuries to mar its batting order, while New York's quality is thinned by injuries to contact hitters like Mark Vientos. Juan Soto has come alive to add to a big home run total, but no Mets, apart from Pete Alonso, are hitting above .280.
If the Mets keep striking out, look for the club to bear down on defense and protect that NL East lead. Prediction buffs should anticipate an under-total-runs outcome on tonight's O/U (8.5) betting line.
