Atlanta at New York Mets 7:10 ET
Braves over Mets- There appears to be a 'new order' in the NL East as the Mets have taken the lead and look like the team to beat. The new-look Braves -- with Matt Olson manning first base instead of stalwart Freddie Freeman, who hit .293 with nine homers and 50 RBIs in 99 games at Citi Field -- will meet the Mets fresh off an opening month in which New York showed it is a much different team than a year ago. Left-hander Max Fried (2-2, 3.00 ERA) is scheduled to start for Atlanta against New York right-hander Chris Bassitt (3-1, 2.25 ERA). Both Fried and Bassitt earned the wins in their most recent starts on Tuesday, when Fried allowed one run over six innings as the Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 and Bassitt tossed six scoreless innings in the Mets' 3-0 victory over the Cardinals. Fried is 4-3 with a 2.78 ERA in 16 career games (11 starts) against the Mets. Bassitt has never faced the Braves. Take ATLANTA!
