NY Mets vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
I’ll stay with the Braves. I could probably go either way here, though. Atlanta should get a decent showing from Morton. He’s coming off one earned in 6.0 innings versus the Cardinals. That said, Morton posted seven earned over his previous 11.2 innings. Senga should do pretty well himself. It’ll be interesting to see his final line.
On Thursday the Braves gave up a Game-winning hit to Jeff McNeil in the bottom of the 10th inning due to a bit of a fielding error. That makes six RBI in nine Games since the break for McNeil. It was a tough loss for Atlanta, but I like them to bounce back Friday.
