New York is coming off getting swept and lost all 3 games by multiple runs. New York is starting Carrasco in this game who is coming off back to back starts but had allowed 18 runs over his previous 4 starts.

Atlanta is starting Elder who has allowed 2 or less earned runs in his last 6 starts allowing 7 earned runs total over that stretch. Elder has been consistent all year long and should be able to shut down a struggling Mets offense.

Atlanta has the hitting and pitching advantage in this game and should be able to beat their division rival by multiple runs.

Pick: Atlanta Braves -1.5
