On the mound for the Braves will be Max Fried who sits with a 13-7 record overall and an ERA of 2.50. In his last start against the Phillies, he went five innings giving up five hits and one run.
The Mets are 5-0 in DeGrom’s last five Friday starts. The Mets are 1-4 in their last five games following an off day. The over is 5-0 in the Mets last five games. The under is 5-0 in the Braves last five home games.
deGrom struggled in hsi last start but it seems when the pressure is highest is when he finds the most success. The Braves offense struggled on Wednesday, and they are going to have some major issues scoring against deGrom here. It might not be the prettiest game, but the Mets will secure the win.
