The New York Mets have struggled to begin the season, posting a 3-6 record. They will turn to Julio Teheran to start tonight’s game. He went 3-5 with a 4.40 ERA last season and will be making his first start this season. He faced the Braves twice last season and went 0-1in 11.0 innings and gave up 10 runs on 14 hits with nine strikeouts. The Mets are last in MLB in OPS and are scoring just 2.78 runs a game. The Atlanta Braves are 6-2 to start the season and lead the NL East. The Braves will turn to Charlie Morton for tonight’s start. He went 5.2 scoreless innings against the White Sox, allowing three hits, two walks with six strikeouts. On the other end of the spectrum, The Braves are leading baseball in OPS while averaging 7.0 runs per game. Morton pitched four times against the Mets last season, going 2-1 in 22.0 innings with eight runs on 15 hits, 15 walks and 26 strikeouts. Julio Teheran is making his first start and to be honest, who knows what you are going to get from him and for how long. The Mets have won three of their last four games, while the Braves have won three straight. Atlanta is the better team and has shown a far superior offense. I think they will be able to get to Tehran early. Lay the run and a half doe better value.

Play on Atlanta minus 1.5 runs. This is a 3% play
