Schule's MLB BEAST of the EAST - NYM@ATL
(MLB) NY Mets vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -167.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 2* play on ATL.

The Mets lost Pete Alonso after he was hit by a pitch in last night's game. X-Rays came back negative but he isn't likely to play here in Game 3. Alonso leads the majors in home runs, and he's 4th in RBIs, so it's a big loss if he can't play.

Spencer Strider will toe the slab for Atlanta, and he's 6-2 with a 2.97 ERA and a WHIP of 1.00.

The Mets hand the ball to Justin Verlander, who is 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA on the road (3 starts).

New York has lost five straight overall, and they have lost six straight at Atlanta. The Braves are 8-1 in the last nine meetings between the two teams.
