New York at Atlanta

August 22, 2025

New York will look to get back on track after losing two of three to Washington and will go with Nolan McLean to turn the team's fortunes around again. The rookie struck out eight hitters in 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his MLB debut Saturday, and the Mets beat Seattle 3-1. Atlanta has won seven of eight, but the Braves have lost five straight home games against teams with winning records. Joey Wentz has a 6.46 ERA and a .280 opponent batting average at home this year for Atlanta. Wentz also has a 5.93 ERA overall in night games. The Braves are 13-7 UNDER their past 20 games against NL East opponents, and 10 of 15 Friday home games have stayed UNDER. Take the Mets and the UNDER.
