New York Mets
Having won six-of-ten, and knotted at two wins apiece this season with the Braves, New York visits Atlanta looking to move up the suddenly competitive NL East.
29-year-old Zack Wheeler gets the start today opposite the red hot Braves. In his last outing against Atlanta, Wheeler’s six innings of six hit, eight strikeout ball helped NYM to a clean April 12 6-2 victory.
Overall, New York has won four of Wheeler’s (5-4, 4.87 ERA) last five starts -the lone setback coming June 11 vs. the Yankees. In that contest Wheeler allowed ten hits and nine runs over four innings.
This season, through 88 innings pitched, Wheeler has surrendered 88 hits, 52 runs and 48 earned runs. During that span, though, Wheeler has recorded 99 strikeouts; however, the RHP’s ceded eight home runs in his last five starts.

Wheeler will need Pete Alonso (23 HR), Michael Conforto (13 HR) and Jeff McNeil (.335 BA) to spearhead an offensive charge which may prove difficult against Atlanta ace Mike Soroka.
Atlanta Braves
Back atop the NL East, reigning division champion Atlanta, 8-1 in their last nine games, places budding superstar Mike Soroka (7-1, 1.92 ERA) on the mound today.
And for all of Soroka’s 2019 success, just 15 earned runs, 50 hits and two home runs allowed through 70 innings pitched, Soroka appeared vulnerable during the Braves’ recent 8-7 win vs. Pittsburgh.
Through five innings on June 12 Pittsburgh solved the Soroka matrix while gaining ten hits, five runs and five earned opposite the touted RHP.

Ranked second among NL teams with a .262 batting average, Atlanta’s lineup is as solid as any league wide. And now that the Braves are combining power (105 HR, #5 NL) with accuracy, opposing teams are struggling to keep pace.
Six of Atlanta’s eight positional starters, led by Freddie Freeman (19 HR, .308 AVG) have sent ten-plus balls into the stands. Further, seven of those regulars are batting .250-plus.

Free New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Prediction:
Classic division rivals, Atlanta and New York seem to knock the cover off the ball when challenging the other.
Although, until proven otherwise, Soroka’s last start must be treated as an anamoly amid an outstanding campaign. Behind Soroka, Atlanta’s granite lineup will create enough runs to overcome the pesky Mets.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Atlanta Braves SU
Expect Soroka to rebound vs. NYM’s middling offense as the Braves balance proves too much.
