T.M. Selection: Braves.

1) The Braves and Mets in a key battle as they look to secure a post-season spot! Right now the Mets have a small lead on the Braves but this series could be what springs everything for Atlanta here and I like them at home.

2) The Braves have Spencer Schwellenbach starting and he is 6-3 since start of July and working on his 3rd consecutive month producing an ERA that is under 3.20 as he has having a strong September as well.

3) The Mets going with Luis Severino here and he has a 4.80 ERA on the road this year! He gave up 7 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings the last time he faced the Braves and that was in New York.

4) The line is a bargain in this price range as the pitching match-up edge lies with the home team and the Braves have won 4 of 5 and scored 7 runs a game during this hot stretch. The Mets off B2B wins but have lost 3 of 5 on the road and Severino's road struggles resume here!

T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Braves.
