Today’s matchup is between the Atlanta Braves (24-26) and the New York Mets (25-20). The Braves have won 4 of their last 5 games & the Mets have won 3 of their last 5 games.
The Braves are starting Max Fried (LHP), on the mound who is 2-2 on the season pitching a 4.63 ERA, 4.12 FIP, .350 wOBA, K% of 21.8%, BB% of 9.0%, 85.4 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.49 WHIP in 35.0 innings pitched.
The Mets are starting Jacob deGrom (RHP), who is 3-2 on the season with a 0.80 ERA, 1.16 FIP, .190 wOBA, K% of 46.5%, BB% of 4.4%, 89.3 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.60 WHIP in 45.0 innings pitched.
The Braves are 18th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Mets are 1st.
On the hitting side, the Braves have a .327 wOBA and a .316 OBP. The Mets have a .291 wOBA and a .308 OBP. The Braves have 80 HRs this season while the Mets have 33 HRs.
Jacob deGrom has been LIGHTS OUT with a .80 ERA, he will be tested against the Braves batting lineup but I like the Mets to win this game as they have the best relieving in the majors as well.
