Mets vs. Braves Prediction

I’m on the Braves here. I just think that the Braves have more to play for slightly being the team on the outside looking in, and the Braves MUST win this series if they’re not going to sweep. Severino hasn’t been as sharp on the road and Schwellenbach’s been a consistent contributor for the Braves this season. Give me Atlanta to draw first blood here.
