Atlanta at New York

The New York Mets will send Jacob deGrom to the mound as they open the season at home vs. the Atlanta Braves. deGrom could be a huge factor in a short 60 game MLB season. He has delivered a quality start as a home favorite in 57 of his 73 starts, or 78% of the time with the Mets winning 65% of those games at 37-20. Mike Soroka lost four of his last six starts on the road for the Braves, and the matchup favors the Mets here. A team playing in game one as a home favorite from -130 to -185 against a team also in game one is 56-20 with a +21.7% ROI. Ride with the New York Mets in this one.
