The Braves still have baseball's best record, but they've now lost three straight games, including Friday's series opener against the last-place Mets. Atlanta will try to even the series and set things right on Saturday.
With a favorable pitching matchup and more than two months of results, I like their chances.
My Braves vs. Mets predictions and MLB picks call for Atlanta to roll.
Who will win Braves vs Mets today: Braves run line -1.5 (+167)
The Atlanta Braves haven't lost more than three straight this season. Even with Ronald Acuna Jr. injured, Atlanta is hitting. They've scored 5 or more in four of the last six games. And they've allowed 3 or fewer in four of the last six as well.
The New York Mets' Sean Manea is making his first start of the season. In 14 games as a reliever, Manaea has a 5.02 ERA and the highest walk rate and WHIP of his career.
I'm looking for the Braves to tee off. If the run line is over +150, I'll give up the 1.5 to cash in.
COVERS INTEL: On six or more days' rest, Martin Perez has a 5.10 ERA and .287 average against. The only time he's worse is on short rest. For his career, Perez has a 4.23 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and a .272 average against when on schedule. That balloons to 5.13, 1.46, .286 when the schedule changes. 
Braves vs Mets Over/Under pick: Over 8.5 (+101)
The Mets have scored 12 runs in the last two games, although they've allowed 25 in their last four.
Atlanta starter Spencer Strider left Friday's game with an injury after three innings, and yet the Mets' bullpen may be in worse shape. New York used four relievers on Friday, and the Mets' pen has pitched 19.2 innings in the last three games, with a 5.49 ERA.
A Thursday rainout pushed Braves starter Martin Perez back a day. He has struggled as a starter when his routine changes. Marcus Semien, Juan Soto, and Bo Bichette are a combined .307 with .853 OPS against Perez. Take the Over if it's plus.
