This is an 8* play on ATLANTA

We smartly laid off the Braves last night as they were up against Jacob deGrom. That particular matchup didn't go well for them as they were beaten 10-2 with the only two runs scored coming in the bottom of the ninth when the game was well out of hand. But Atlanta was a winner for us on Monday and we're back on them again tonight. Despite losing Tuesday, your NL East leaders still have won 10 of their last 12 games. Going into yesterday, they'd scored 90 runs in 11 games. They should rediscover that offense today going against Steven Matz, who is certainly not deGrom. Matz has a 5.79 ERA and 1.53 WHIP away from home this year. Max Fried goes for Atlanta. He'd gotten off to a great start to the year, but has struggled here in June. Look for him to get back on track tonight though as the Braves are a perfect 6-0 following the last six times they were held to two runs or less. The Mets are just 1-4 off their previous five victories. Play on ATLANTA
