8* play on New York Mets.
The New York Mets did not get off to a good start to the season, but they come into Game 2 of this series in Atlanta as winners of four of their last five. The Braves own the worst record in the major leagues, and they simply aren't going to win many games with a team that can't seem to score. My money is on the Mets in Game 2.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - Steven Matz will get the nod for the visitors, and he's coming off what might be the best performance of his career. Matz (1-1, 7.27 ERA) blanked Cleveland through seven innings, striking out nine and giving up just three hits. The Braves counter with Jhoulys Chacin who only made four major league starts last year.
2. Batter vs. Pitcher - Curtis Granderson was 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs in Game 1, and he's batting .278 versus Braves pitching (1-for-2 vs Chacin).
3. X-Factor - Chacin isn't expected to go deep into this game, and he'll hand the ball to Altanta's suspect bullpen that ranks 23rd in the majors with a 4.40 ERA.
Selection: This is a play on the New York Mets (8*)
