Lineup, how to watch the Atlanta Braves go for the series sweep against the New York Mets

It's been quite the weekend for the Atlanta Braves.

Winners of all three games in this series against the New York Mets and 14-2 against them in the last 16 games, the Braves are out to finish the season series in style with a sweep opportunity on Sunday night. It's something that Braves players relish - Ozzie Albies admitted on Saturday that while the team gets up for every game, they do particularly enjoy taking on New York. "Lot more pleasure, of course. Because they always say they’re going to beat us. That’s all I can say, I won’t say much". Let see if the Mets can get one more from Atlanta this season.

Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets on Sunday, August 13th

Starting for Atlanta is in-season acquisition Yonny Chirinos. The right-hander is 5-4 with a 4.83 ERA in 18 appearances this season, split between Tampa Bay and Atlanta. With the Braves, he's 1-0 with a 8.56 ERA in his three starts, allowing 19 hits and 13 runs in 13.2 innings, including four homers. Many members of the current Mets roster have faced him in limited samples, with mixed results - 1B Pete Alonso is 1-2 with a homer and 2 RBIs, while 2B Jeff McNeil (1-2) and C Omar Narváez (1-4) are the only of the 8 players to have a hit against Chirinos.

Opposing Atlanta is Kodai Senga. The Japanese right-hander is 8-6 with a 3.24 ERA in his 21 starts this season, striking out 142 in his 116.2 innings but walking 57. Atlanta's never faced Senga in his short MLB career, and how they handle his signature "ghost fork" offspeed pitch will make for appointment viewing tonight.
