The set-up: The Mets trot out Zack Wheeler in this National League contest on Wednesday night, and he has admittedly looked far better over the last month after a disastrous start to the 2018 campaign. The Braves go with Mike Foltynewicz on the mound and he continues to show signs that he may be able to take his play to an entirely different level and then hold it consistently.

The pitchers: Wheeler is so far 2-4 with a 4.57 ERA. Most recently Wheeler would go seven scoreless against Baltimore on Wednesday, giving up three hits and a walk while striking out five in what turned out to be a no-decision. Wheeler has been considerably better of late, but note that he's still just 1-3 with a 5.01 ERA in all "night" games this season.

Foltynewicz is far 5-4 with a 2.31 ERA. Most recently Foltynewicz would give up two earned runs off five hits while walking three and striking out eight over five innings in a loss to the Friars on Wednesday. Foltynewicz threw well enough to earn a victory in that one and he was just unfortunate to come out on the short end of the stick. Note thought that he's 3-3 with a 2.38 ERA in all "night" games this year and 2-1 with a 2.55 ERA at home.

The pick: Take it for what you will, but New York is a poor 14-22 (-7.8 units) this season against teams with winning records, while Atlanta is a decent 10-8 (+1.6 units) against clubs with losing records. A very fair price considering the situation. Play on the Braves.
