Atlanta has stayed hot as they have reeled off eight straight wins since dropping four of five to the Mets in the Big Apple last weekend. That includes two straight wins at home over New York in this series by a combined count of 18-1 after rolling to a 5-0 triumph Tuesday night. The bad news for Braves fans is that the good vibes train derails here. New York sends Max Scherzer to the hill here and the Braves counter with...Jake Odorizzi? That's right, Atlanta traded Will Smith to Houston to get the quintessential version of a mediocre starting pitcher. Odorizzi has posted a 2.077 WHIP in his first two starts with Atlanta, giving up 14 hits over 8.2 innings, and he has to face a New York team that has to be licking their lips at getting their hacks here. Scherzer took a bitter no-decision in his last start against the Phillies but he has a 1.34 ERA in five starts since the All-Star break. He's 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA, a 0.50 WHIP, no walks and 20 strikeouts over 14 innings in two starts against Atlanta this season. Take the Mets behind a superior force on the mound.
