Mets unable to rally

New York trimmed a three-run deficit to 3-2 Friday night at home against Atlanta, but proceeded to surrender three runs in the top of the eighth inning in what ended as a 6-2 defeat.

Tomas Nido finished 2-for-4 with an RBI. Robinson Cano was also 2-for-4.

MLB Betting Trends

Atlanta

The Braves are 6-1 in their last seven games versus a left-handed starter. Atlanta is 4-1 in its last five games versus the NL East.

New York

The Mets are 0-6 in their last six games overall. New York is 1-4 in the last five Matz starts.

Prediction:

Atlanta has been rolling in June and New York has not. Both pitchers are inconsistent, but it's a little easier to bank on Teheran getting run support. I'll take the team playing the better baseball here.
