The Pick:
The Mets have hit a slight rough patch in recent games, including dropping a 5–2 game against Atlanta on Tuesday night, but, ultimately, they head into the contest with more talent. The team’s superior .257 batting average, as well as Taylor Megill’s 1.93 ERA is likely to prove overpowering in the Met home game. Meanwhile, with Ian Anderson and his 4.66 ERA on the mound for Atlanta, New York batters shouldn’t have a hard time getting runners across the plate.
