Pitching Matchup
Carrasco’s season has been rocky—he’s 2–2 with a 6.18 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, and 32 strikeouts over 43.2 innings. His most recent outing was especially rough, surrendering six earned runs in just 5⅔ innings.
On the other side, David Peterson has been one of the Mets’ most reliable starters. He’s 7–5 with a 2.98 ERA over 133 innings, and has consistently delivered quality starts—averaging six innings per outing and tallying 14–15 quality starts. Since May, Peterson has gone at least six innings in 13 of his last 16 starts.
Braves vs. Mets MLB BETTING PREDICTION
With Peterson bringing consistency and home-field edge, and Carrasco still trying to regain early-season form, the Mets clearly hold the advantage. The Braves’ offense has shown sparks—especially in series against Miami—but the bullpen remains a question mark. Weather conditions could give the game a slight tilt toward hitting environments.
Projected Final Score: New York Mets 6, Atlanta Braves 4, pushing over the run total. Home pitching and recent firepower give the Mets the upper hand, but Atlanta’s bats may keep this closer than some expect.
