New York Mets vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

The Mets are in a funk and you can argue they’re due for a bounce back performance, as they’re too talented to let these losses linger. However, it’s hard to get behind Blackburn, who is still getting his feet wet this season and has pitched just 9.1 innings. Sale has been strong yet again, and he’s allowed 10 hits and two runs in his last 19 innings. In 28.2 home innings, Sale has a 2.83 ERA and .245 allowed batting average. The Braves are slowly playing improved ball, and they have the comfortably more trustworthy pitcher. I’ll roll with the Braves.
