Key Stats
Atlanta Braves
Reynaldo Lopez(RHP) will get the start for the Braves in today’s game. Lopez has started the season 0-0 with a 1.50 ERA and has struck out five batters. Orlando Arcia leads the team with a .417 batting average, 15 hits, and an OBP of .447. Marcell Ozuna has hit a team-high five home runs and tallied 12 RBIs.
New York Mets
The Mets are expected to start Adrian Houser(RHP) for today’s game. Houser has started the season 0-0 with a 1.80 ERA and three strikeouts. Brett Baty is batting .333 and collected 12 hits so far this year. Brandon Nimmo has smashed two home runs, tallied eight RBIs, and carries an OBP of .395.
Game Prediction
New York played well yesterday, but they are too inconsistent. They are not better than the Braves, and I expect things to be different today. Both pitchers have been solid this year in limited action, but I have to give Lopez a slight advantage in this one. Houser is facing one of the most potent offenses in the MLB. I am rolling with Atlanta to bounce back today and tie the series 1-1.
Final Pick
Atlanta Braves ML (-198)
