The Braves enter today’s game with a 54-46 record, as they have lost their last four games. This rough stretch has placed Atlanta nine games behind first place in the division, and the Braves are quickly losing their lead in the National League Wild Card standings. With this in mind, Atlanta will try to bounce back against the Mets tonight and earn a much-needed victory.
In order for the Braves to win tonight, they must perform better on the mound. The team has conceded 28 runs in their last four games, so their bullpen will need to step up against New York.
A key player in this matchup will be Atlanta’s designated hitter Marcell Ozuna, who boasts a .306 batting average with 80 RBI this season. He has played at a high level throughout the year and has carried the team’s offense thus far, so the team will need him to show up this evening.
The Mets have started to turn their season around, as they enter this matchup with a 53-48 record. Their recent hot streak has given them one of the top spots in the National League Wild Card standings, as they try to keep their momentum rolling tonight.
The Mets are coming off back-to-back wins against the Yankees, which includes a dominant 12-3 victory last night. The Mets have been led by Francisco Lindor all season, and he finished last night’s game with two home runs. If he continues to play at a high level this evening, then Atlanta might lose a fifth-straight game.
