Mets vs. Braves Probable Pitchers

Mets: Zac Thornton (3-2, 2.52 ERA)

Zac Thornton is looking to build on his five shutout frames in Pittsburgh last time out. He threw a quality start against the Braves to finish July, allowing three runs on six hits in 6.1 innings.

Tyler Mahle threw six shutout innings against the Yankees in his Braves debut, striking out nine with two walks and three hits allowed. The Mets beat him up back in April to the tune of five runs on eight hits in five innings on April 3.

Mets vs. Braves Best MLB Prop Bets

Braves Best MLB Prop Bet

Matt Olson OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-146)

Matt Olson has had a power surge in recent weeks. He’s 15 for 53 (.283) with eight home runs and three doubles in his last 14 games.

Olson has gone OVER 1.5 HRR in three straight games, five of six, and nine of his last 11 contests. I think he’ll get it done again tonight at home, even against a southpaw.

Mets vs. Braves Prediction and Pick

The Braves will probably win tonight, but I’m not comfortable laying the juice against a Mets team that is suddenly playing well.

It’s been hit or miss for these offenses, though, so I am looking to the UNDER.

Thornton and Mahle are both capable of solid outings, and these teams combined for just seven hits last night.

Pick: UNDER 8.5 (-103)
