Mets limp into Atlanta for showdown with East-leading Braves

The Mets (30-30) will do their best to shake off the weekend sweep and get back on their feet as they face the first-place Braves (35-24). These two teams played earlier in the season at Citi Field, with the Braves taking two of three. This will be the last time these two sides face off until August. It’s worth mentioning that the last time these two squared off at Truist Park, Atlanta effectively ended the Mets’ dreams of an NL East title by sweeping New York, who had their three best pitchers lined up for the series.
