The Mets will try to build on a blowout win when they host the Braves again tonight at Citi Field. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. EST.
New York (64–55) erupted for 13 runs in last night's series opener, snapping a four-game skid and solidifying its grip on second place in the NL East. Atlanta (51–68) sits fourth in the division and will look to bounce back after surrendering 17 hits in the loss.
The Mets will hand the ball to left-hander David Peterson (7–5, 2.98 ERA), who has allowed two runs or fewer in all but one start since June. The Braves will counter with veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco (2–2, 6.18 ERA), who got roughed up for six runs in a 5.2-inning start his last time out.
Juan Soto (28 HR, 67 RBIs) and Pete Alonso (.267, 28 HR, 96 RBIs) continue to power the Mets' offense, while the Braves lean on Matt Olson (.264, 19 HR, 71 RBIs) and Marcell Ozuna (19 HR, 56 RBIs).

Braves vs Mets Predictions and Picks
"I'm backing the Mets here. I just think we've hit gut check time for New York here, as you have to take advantage of winnable games like these with a team like Atlanta on the ropes. The Braves just have not been able to put it all together consistently, and I don't think that they will all of a sudden here either. The Mets NEED these games, so give me New York in this one." — Chris Ruffolo, Sports Chat Place
"The Mets are in a tailspin leading into the second game of this series with the Braves. Thankfully, Atlanta is having an embarrassing season, and they are well out of a playoff spot heading into the second week of August. This is a perfect remedy for a struggling Mets team. Carlos Carrasco ... has been subpar since joining Atlanta, giving up nine earned runs on 16 hits over 11.2 innings through two starts. The Braves have lost seven of their last 10 road games. Take New York." — Jason Raffoul, Statsalt
"New York was able to get a very high scoring win on [last] night to start this series, as they were able to snap their long losing streak ... The Braves are starting Carrasco, who has allowed nine earned runs and 16 hits in his last two starts. The Mets are going with Peterson, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four outings. I don't trust Carrasco on the mound, so I will take the Mets here." — David Racey, PickDawgz
