I think this is a cheap price to lay with the much superior Braves. Yes, the Mets defeated Atlanta, 3-0 on Saturday, but that was with Zach Wheeler. Now the Mets drop down to rookie Corey Oswalt, a fill-in for injured Steven Matz.

The Braves had outscored the Mets, 27-5, at Citi Field in going 5-0 before yesterday's game. Atlanta is 11-4 versus the Mets this season.

The Mets are in clear rebuild mode and definitely are fade material whenever Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard and Wheeler aren't pitching.

Atlanta starter Julio Teheran has a good history against the Mets with with a 9-6 lifetime record and 2.33 ERA. He's held the Mets to two runs on 11 hits in 21 innings this season for an 0.86 ERA. The Mets rank 30th in batting average. They haven't scored more than four runs in their last eight games.
