SBG Global Opening Line: Mets -125, Total 9.5 flat
Jorge Sosa (3-0, 2.25 ERA) vs. Kyle Davies (1-2, 5.17)
The top two teams in the National League East meet tonight as the Braves host the Mets in game one of a best of three series. The Mets have the best record in the National League and are now 2.5 games in front of the Braves. Early betting on this game at SBG Global has the public taking the Mets on the road.
Atlanta has won four of six from the Mets this season. "Moving into Atlanta and facing those guys who are running our tail, we have to return the favor," Mets right fielder Shawn Green said. Green is hitting .417 with three homers and six RBIs against the Braves this season. The Mets are also starting to hit the ball of late, especially All-Star third baseman David Wright who is batting .391 with five homers and 14 RBIs in the last 13 games.
The Mets are -122 favorites with a total of 9.5 flat at SBG Global.
The Mets go with former Atlanta pitcher Jorge Sosa tonight who has pitched well this season. He is coming off his best outing of the season Wednesday, when he allowed one run and one hit with five strikeouts over seven innings of an 8-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. "He's in a nice little rhythm right now, he's really feeling his pitches," Mets manager Willie Randolph said. "He's in that little zone right now."
Atlanta has lost four of its last five. On Sunday, Atlanta stranded 12 runners in a 6-3 defeat to Boston. "We started off this trip playing well," Braves outfielder Jeff Francoeur said. "We just finished it in a bit of a rut."
