The Braves are not off to a great start. Their offense has not been dominant at all, noticeable for just home runs and strikeouts. They have struggled on the road, and against right-handed pitching to date.

They face a very good right-hander in the Mets’ MeGill (5 starts, 1.93 ERA). He gave up 4 runs in 6 innings in his worst start, but has otherwise been excellent. He is holding opposing batters to a .186 BA, with just 6 walks.

Anderson starts for the Braves. He struggled early in the season but has bounced back nicely since. Control has sometimes been an issue, with 11 walks to 17 strikouts.

Both pens have performed adequately, so no advantage goes to either team. Where the Mets are showing better is on offense. They are top of the pack in average with very good power. They have also been solid at home and vs. right-handers. The Mets are a small favorite, and my pick to win on Wednesday.
