Braves vs Mets MLB Betting Preview
The Braves and Mets will square off on Sunday afternoon to conclude a three-game set at Citi Field.
Mets’ 30-year-old ace Freddy Peralta will take the mound for New York, while right-hander Bryce Elder will start for the visiting Braves in what I expect to be a divisional thriller on Sunday afternoon.
While Peralta had been remarkably consistent at the onset of his Major League career, with the right-hander having recorded a 3.50 average ERA across eight seasons, he has taken a slight step back in his first season in New York.
Peralta has recorded a 4.04 ERA along with a 1.32 WHIP in his first 14 starts for the Mets, with the 30-year-old Dominican having surrendered 35 earned runs across 78 frames on the mound.
Elder has actually been the better pitcher so far this season, recording a 2.66 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 14 starts.
Braves vs Mets Pick, Betting Analysis
Peralta hasn't looked like himself this season, but he's fared well against the Braves in the past.
Meanwhile, Elder is in career-best form.
I think that runs could be at a premium in this matchup.
Throw in that Ronald Acuna Jr. just hit the shelf, and I love the NRFI.
Pick: NRFI
