Money Line: -160.00 NY Mets (Away)
Result: Win
Play: New York Mets
Rating: 8*

The New York Mets lost to the Atlanta Braves in last night's opener of a four-game set at Turner Field. Look for the Mets to bounce back with a win tonight behind left-hander Steven Matz.

Matz (7-3, 2.74 ERA) is 2-0 with a minuscule 1.80 ERA in three starts against Atlanta this season. He's recorded 23 Ks while holding hitters to a .205 batting through 20 innings of works in these contests. While Matz has not been at his best lately, facing Atlanta should prove a good opportunity to get back on track.

The Braves hand the ball to Aaron Blair (0-4, 7.19). Atlanta has lost eight of his 10 starts and he's allowed plenty of baserunners with a .298 batting average against and a 1.71 WHIP. Blair is 0-3 with a 6.91 ERA in six home starts.

Braves are 2-8 in their last 10 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Mets are 7-0 in the last seven meetings in Atlanta.
