T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves

The Braves broke out with a win last night and I look for them to carry that momentum over here. Rick Porcello (14-12, 5.52 ERA in 2019) gets the call for the home side.

The Braves counter with left Sean Newcomb (6-3, 3.16 ERA in 2019).

Edwin Diaz gave up a late home run to the Braves' Marcell Ozuna and then Atlanta would go on to score three more times in the top of the tenth.

It's the same old story for the Mets though, who continue to get confounded at the plate.

Porcello has had success against the Braves in the past (3-1, 3.00 ERA in four career starts). Newcomb though is 3-3 with a 3.29 ERA in 13 games vs. the Mets.

Ultimately I think the Braves' line-up has severely underperformed to this point and I like it to finally break out in this favorable matchup. Look for Newcomb to get the better of his veteran counterpart.

T.M. Prediction: 7-5 Braves
