The Mets took Game 1 of this home series versus Atlanta, and they look good here this afternoon with Jacob deGrom on the mound. New York sits 1.5 games clear of Washington for the top spot in the NL East, and they are 23-10 at Citi Field.
Here are my keys to the game.
1. Pitching - deGrom (7-4, 2.42 ERA) gave up three runs on five hits, racking up 10 Ks in a win over Arizona in his last start. He's 5-1 with a 1.34 ERA in seven starts at home this season. The Braves counter with Shelby Miller, who is win-less in his last four appearances.
2. Braves Bullpen - Miller's record could be a lot better if it wasn't for the Atlanta bullpen that ranks among the worst in the majors with a 4.65 ERA.
3. X-Factor - The Mets are 10-1 in deGrom's last 11 starts as a home favorite.
Selection: This is a play on the New York Mets (8*)
