In this article, we will formulate a Braves vs Mets Prediction for this MLB matchup on Tuesday, July 28 th in the opening game of this series. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.
The New York Mets have a 45-62 record this season and are sitting in the 5th place of the NL East. They have a 23-30 home record and are coming off a 14-3 home win against the Braves. They will face the Marlins and the Guardians next.
The New York Mets have a .235 batting average this season, .307 OBP and .387 Slugging percentage. New York’s pitching staff has a 4.18 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. Juan Soto is the team’s best hitter with a .283 batting average, leads the team in RBI with 52, and adds a team-high 21 home runs.
Christian Scott (R) is the projected starting pitcher for the New York Mets, and he has a 3-2 record, 3.13 ERA and 1.26 WHIP.
The Atlanta Braves have a 62-44 record this season and are sitting in the 1st place of the NL East. They have a 30-24 away record and are coming off a 3-14 road loss against the Mets. They will face the Nationals and the Marlins next.

Michael Harris II is the team’s best hitter with a .298 batting average. Matt Olson leads the team in RBI with 63, adding a team-high 27 home runs.
Chris Sale (L) is the projected starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, and he has a 11-6 record, 2.19 ERA and 1.05 WHIP.
The Mets have won their last three meetings against the Braves and their last two visits in Atlanta. Their last four meetings have all gone over the total.
In this Braves vs Mets Prediction, the Braves are coming as -165 road favorites. I like the Braves in a bounce-back spot today after they got blown out of the water yesterday with a 14-3 score. None better than Chris Sale to help the team get away with the win, as he has been elite again this season and two of his last three starts had been shutouts. On the flip side, Christian Scott has been weaker at home and the Braves have both a better offense and a better bullpen. Take the Braves to win this one.
