Braves vs. Mets Prediction
After the Mets took both games of their double-header versus the Braves on Saturday, what’s the best bet when it comes to Sunday’s matchup between these NL East foes?
Game Snapshot
911 Atlanta Braves (+118) at 912 New York Mets (-138); o/u 7
4:10 p.m. ET, Sunday, August 7, 2022
Citi Field, New York, NY
Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
X-rays returned negative on Travis d’Arnaud’s right leg. The backstop is considered day-to-day after hurting the leg in a collision on Saturday against the Mets. The backstop will likely be out of the lineup on Sunday, but appears to have avoided a significant injury.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Pete Alonso went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Saturday in a win over the Braves. Alonso continues to be much more than just a supplier of power — although that’s obviously the calling card — and the infielder continues to help in he average category with the three singles. He also drove in his 93rd run, and is a lock to reach the 100-rbi mark by the end of August barring something unforeseen. An absolutely sensational 2022 season for the man they call Polar Bear.
