The Atlanta Braves will open a hugely important four-game series against the New York Mets tonight. Despite a losing record, the Braves are still within striking distance of first place in the NL East, especially with more than half the season to go. The Mets are in a much better position, sitting only a game behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the divisional lead. A strong showing here would prime either team for a push towards the top in games to come, making it an important set for both squads.
Atlanta has one of the best starting pitching rotations in the MLB, largely thanks to the play of Chris Sale and Spencer Strider. Spencer Schwellenbach has produced excellent starts as the third arm in the rotation, posting a 3.26 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP over his 15 appearances this season. However, New York's lineup managed to drop four runs on Schwellenbach as the righty struggled with his control throughout his seven frames of work. This is a huge opportunity for Atlanta's starter to right a past wrong and get back on the horse.
Reliable starting pitching is hard to find, as evidenced by the fact that the Mets will call upon Paul Blackburn to pitch this game. The righty has only started two games in 2025, but the most recent outing was a disaster against the same team he faces in this matchup. The Braves smacked him for three runs in three innings. It is hard to see things improving in this contest, even though Blackburn will play in front of his home crowd here.
