The Braves come into this Game as heavy favorites to win, but they did get blown out on Monday night. The Braves have a huge lead in the NL East, while New York is eight Games below .500. Atlanta is starting Bryce Elder, who has allowed 0, 5, and 5 earned runs in his last three starts. New York is starting Tylor Megill, who has allowed 2, 5, 5, and 4 earned runs in his last four starts. The Mets have found some success in their last few series, but Atlanta has the pitching advantage in this Game. I am going to take the Braves to bounce back and win this Game by two runs.
