MLB Betting Trends

Atlanta

The Braves are 4-1 in their last five road games. Atlanta is 5-0 in the last five Fried road starts.

New York

The Mets are 1-5 in their last six home games. New York is 0-7 in its last seven games versus the NL East.

Prediction: 

Syndergaard has had an uneven season, filled with some dominant starts but also plenty of clunkers. He didn't pitch well his last start, but was in pretty good form before that. Tasked with ending the Mets' skid, I think we get good Syndergaard tonight. Atlanta now has a 6.5-game cushion in the NL East standings and with it being a getaway day, it might step off the gas pedal for this contest.
