MLB Betting Trends
Atlanta
The Braves are 37-15 in their last 52 Sunday games. Atlanta is 1-4 in its last five games overall.
New York
The Mets are 4-1 in their last five games overall. New York is 17-7 in the last 24 Syndergaard Sunday starts.
Prediction:
The Braves went through the motions yesterday and might not throw out a regular lineup today. While Syndergaard hasn’t been that good his last several starts, he’s definitely capable of mowing down an unfocused and underwhelming lineup. Atlanta has bigger fish to fry. I’m taking the Mets here to end their season on a high note.
