Atlanta Braves vs. New York Mets: Odds, Line, Picks, NRFI, and Predictions August 15, 2022 | 2022 MLB Season

The Atlanta Braves are hosting the New York Mets; having just finished a five-game set a week ago, these two teams are playing another four games.

The Braves enter play with a six-game winning streak. After losing four out of five against New York, Atlanta swept the Boston Red Sox and Miami Marlins. Hopefully, they can continue this hot streak and gain some ground in the National League East.

Exiting that five-game set, the Metropolitans had a 6.5 game lead; having won five of their last six in the past week, they are still 5.5 games ahead of Atlanta. They'll do their best to maintain that lead.

Pitching in this one is Spencer Strider for the Braves, and Carlos Carrasco for the Mets. Both hurlers pitched in last week's five-game series, and the Mets won both games.

This is going to be an intense series. The Braves can once again close the gap in the division, or the Mets can make them an afterthought in the NL East. It's more likely to be a split series, but the possibilities are fun to consider. However, with Strider on the mound, it's an easy decision for the bettors.
