Braves vs Mets (07.29 08:10, Citi Field)

Starters: Braves Chris Sale / Mets Christian Scott

Atlanta ranks third overall at a .590 clip, well clear of a fourteenth-place Mets club sitting at .420, but the recent form tells a slightly different story, the Braves have dropped their last game while the Mets have won two straight, and the Mets actually hold a 5-3 edge in this seasons head-to-head series. Both starters have solid velocity readings, Sale ranging from the low-90s up to 96.0 mph in his most recent outing, and Scott holding steady in the 95-96 range. Sales 2.19 ERA is among the best in the league, and Scotts 3.13 is respectable too, but the gap widens over the last five starts, Sale has held his 2.25 FIP right in line with his season number while Scott has slipped to 3.41. The two actually squared off in the same series back in early July, with Scott getting roughed up for three runs (two homers) over four innings against Atlanta on July 4, and Sale running into similar trouble the very next day, allowing three runs (also two homers) over five innings against the Mets, so both starters have a recent data point showing this opponent can get to them. Both lineups remain unconfirmed today and are being carried over from the previous game. Atlantas bats have cooled noticeably, from a .258 season average down to .222 over the last five games, while New Yorks have heated up from .248 to .295 in the same window. The bullpen gap is sizable too, Atlantas relievers have thrown 12 innings recently and their ERA has ballooned to 6.70, a tired and shaky group, while New Yorks pen has managed a much sharper 2.43 ERA over 10.67 innings. On paper the season numbers and standings favor Sale and the Braves, but the recent hot and cold bats, the bullpen disparity, and this years head-to-head results all give the Mets a real case in this one.
