Atlanta @ New York picks

The New York Mets are in a freefall right now, losers of seven straight and nine of their last 10. Going up against Spencer Strider won't solve their issues, as Strider has been solid of late, posting just one bad start (against the hottest team in baseball: Milwaukee). Before that, he'd not given up more than three runs in 10 straight starts. The Mets counter with Clay Holmes, and he's been OK, but the Atlanta bats are clicking right now. 

Clay Holmes, despite not pitching very deep into his games, has been one of the Mets' steadiest hands. Meanwhile, Braves ace Spencer Strider has been anything but in his return from injury. This has us backing the Mets to snap out of their recent skid.

Brandon Nimmo has terrorized Braves SP Spencer Strider over the years, going 9-for-22 with two home runs. Nimmo has nine of his bombs at home, and Strider - who still doesn't look 100% himself - has given up 12 homers in only 15 outings.
