ROGERS' MLB 10* BEST BET!
(MLB) Atlanta vs. NY Mets,
Money Line: -120.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Loss
The Braves are now 11-2 on the road. The Mets are just 5-5. L10. With 12 names on the injury list, the Mets' pitching staff appears to be held together with tape and string at the moment. Megill has been one of their steadiest starters, but his starts have been going in the wrong direction. He allowed 4 runs in 4 innings in his last start. Charlie Morton (LH) is aging well this year, finishing April with a 2.76 ERA over 30 innings. He has been especially fine in his last two appearances. The bullpens got the day off on Friday, Saturday, and now Sunday, so both will be well rested. NY, at 1-5 L6, hasn't been hitting well lately. In their last three losses they have managed a total of 1 run. With this being the second game in a double header, the short-staffed Mets’ pen could be quite stretched in the late innings. They have been particularly poor vs left-handers. The Braves batting order is formidable. Count me in on the side of the Braves on Sunday. 10*
