MLB 3-Pack
(MLB) NY Mets vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -114.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Atlanta Braves
Rating: 8/10*

The New York Mets swept the Atlanta Braves in a double-header on Saturday, but I like the Braves to come back and earn a tie of the series Sunday afternoon with Jaime Garcia (2-4, 3.21 ERA) on the hill.

Garcia has been the Braves most consistent starter this season, and in his last four starts, Garcia has produced a 1.23 ERA. The Mets have the third worst batting average in the National League this season, hitting only .232 against southpaws.

The Mets turn to Seth Lugo who will make his season debut after starting the year on the disabled list with right elbow inflammation. He was 5-2 with a 2.67 ERA last year but has posted a not very impressive 4.58 ERA in four rehab starts.

I also like the umpire angle here as the Mets are 2-9 in their last 11 games with Victor Carapazza behind home plate.
