BRAVES NEWS
The Braves face a difficult task this week against the Mets. who will feature Noah Syndergaard on Tuesday and Jacob deGrom on Wednesday, and currently sit atop the NL East by 11⁄2 games over Atlanta. The Braves will counter with Sean Newcomb and Julio Teheran, respectively, before a Thursday showdown between Mike Foltynewicz and Jason Vargas. This should be an interesting series, if nothing else, as the Braves bring their high-octane offense into Citi Field to face a couple of dynamic arms.
