The New York Mets are gearing up to face the Atlanta Braves in a crucial four-game series after a successful winning streak. The last time the Braves visited the Mets, they emerged victorious, causing the Mets to struggle. However, things have changed since then, and the Mets are now on a winning streak while the Braves are facing some challenges.
The Braves have been struggling recently, losing seven of their last ten games. Despite maintaining a 1 1/2-game lead over the Mets, the Braves are facing injuries and a difficult stretch. They will be looking to turn things around in the upcoming series against the Mets.
On the other hand, the Mets have been performing exceptionally well in recent weeks. Since their last encounter with the Braves, the Mets have posted the best record in the majors and scored the most runs. Players like Francisco Lindor have been instrumental in the Mets’ success, hitting multiple home runs in key games.
In the upcoming series, Braves left-hander Chris Sale will face off against Mets right-hander Luis Severino. Sale, who hasn’t pitched in 11 days, will be looking to continue his strong performance against the Mets. Severino, on the other hand, is coming off a solid win against the Miami Marlins and will be aiming to carry that momentum into the series against the Braves.
Both teams will be looking to secure crucial wins in the series as they vie for the top NL wild-card spot. The Mets will be aiming to extend their winning streak, while the Braves will be looking to bounce back from their recent struggles. It promises to be an exciting series between two competitive teams in the NL East.
