Moneyline (ML)
Both teams head into Sunday’s action on streaks: the Mets have lost four in a row, while the Braves have won four straight. New York owns a shaky 5.63 team ERA (26th MLB) on the season and looks to have the lesser of the two bullpens in this matchup. TAKE ATLANTA (-115) as the top side play available in this one.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
There is a high total here and the Braves are the likable side, but PASS ON THE ATLANTA -1.5 (+150) proposition.
Over/Under (O/U)
Both starters have better skills than what shines through in surface stats. The same applies to both bullpens. The Mets and Braves have a combined Over/Under record of 7-11 this season. SHADING THE UNDER 10.5 (-110) is the suggestion here.
