Lineup, how to watch Atlanta's Tuesday night matchup with the New York Mets

Last night didn't go according to plan for the Atlanta Braves.

Starter Allan Winans, who looked so phenomenal last weekend against the Mets in Citi Field, got knocked around for seven runs on nine hits, exiting the game with only one out in the fifth inning. In retrospect, asking Winans to make two straight starts against the same team may have been asking a bit too much - it was essentially at-bats 4, 5, & 6 for some Mets hitters against Winans, who doesn't have overwhelming stuff and thrives off of location and sequencing.

But Atlanta's offense looked pretty good, with Marcell Ozuna crushing over 850 feet of home runs. Atlanta's looking to even up the series behind the strength of that offense and 2023 All-Star Bryce Elder.

Atlanta's going with most of the usual suspects in this one - Nicky Lopez rotates back in at second base for Vaughn Grissom, batting 9th, while Travis d'Arnaud is tonight's catcher, batting 7th.

Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets on Tuesday, August 22nd

Starting for the Braves is RHP Bryce Elder. A 2023 All-Star, Elder's struggled out of the break, with a 5.96 ERA across five July starts and a 5.51 ERA across his three outings in August. He's 1-0 with an ERA of 6.00 in his one start versus the Mets this season, with New York tagging him for four runs on four hits (two homers) in six innings on June 6th, where he struck out eight and walked two in a 6-4 Braves victory.

On the opposing side of the matchup is Tylor Megill for the Mets. 7-6 with a 5.53 ERA in his 18 starts this season, the California righty can't be enthused about the matchup: He's 0-1 with a 6.55 ERA in two starts against Atlanta this season. He last faced the Braves just last weekend, where he gave up six runs (five earned) on nine hits in 5.1 innings as Atlanta downed the Mets 7-0. Eddie Rosario's the one to watch here - in seven career at-bats against Megill, he has seven RBIs.
