Braves vs Mets Prediction 
Atlanta comes into this matchup looking to continue their recent dominance over the Mets, as they continue to make up ground in the NL East standings. The Braves are 15-26 on the road this year, while the Mets are 27-12 at home. New York saw their bullpen fall apart on Tuesday night for another tough loss, but they will turn to Holmes, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. Atlanta will counter with Fuentes, who allowed four earned runs and six hits over 5.0 innings in his first outing. I trust Holmes to have a solid start and I like the Mets to get a win.
