Today’s matchup is between the Atlanta Braves (30-21) and the New York Mets (23-28).
The Braves are starting Kyle Wright (RHP), who is 41-4 on the season pitching a 7.20 ERA, 7.11 FIP, .406 wOBA, K% of 16.4%, BB% of 16.4%, 87.4 MPH average exit velocity, and a 2.08 WHIP in 25.0 innings pitched.
The Mets are starting Rick Porcello (RHP), who is 1-5 on the season with a 6.06 ERA, 3.11 FIP, .336 wOBA, K% of 19.0%, BB% of 5.6%, 87.3 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.53 WHIP in 49.0 innings pitched.
The Braves are the 3rd best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching, while the Mets are 11th.
On the hitting side, the Braves have a .351 wOBA and a .344 OBP. The Mets have a .345 wOBA and a .352 OBP. The Braves have 90 HRs this season while the Mets have 71 HRs.
I like the Braves here, this will be a close battle with the starters but once the Braves relievers take over, they should capture the win for this game.
