Expert Betting Tips
Atlanta finished their previous game against Philadelphia a few hours earlier than the Mets. It could be a defining factor in the upcoming match. On top of that, Atlanta needs a win now. Otherwise, the Braves would already be 4.5 wins behind their opponent. The Mets will benefit from the excellent form of Carlos Carrasco, who has not allowed a single run in his past three starts.
In addition to betting on an Atlanta win, you can also consider betting on the total under. In the first head-to-head encounter, Carrasco and Wright combined for just three injuries this season. Something similar may this time as well.
