Braves Remain Atop The MLB Standings

The Atlanta Braves are the best team in the MLB. They lead the league with a 72-41 record, a win-rate of 63.7%, making Atlanta the toughest team to beat in all of baseball. The Braves are not infallible though, and after winning just 5 of their last 10 games, they only lead the MLB by 2.0 games. Atlanta is coming off a 7-5 loss against the lowly Pirates, but catch a break facing the Mets, who the Braves are 5-1 against this year.

The New York Mets are 52-62, putting them an insurmountable 20.5 games back from the Atlanta Braves in the National League. The Mets have crumbled against the might of the Braves this season, winning just 1 of their 6 matchups with Atlanta. New York averages 3.2 runs per game against the Braves, while Atlanta averages 4.2 runs per game against the Mets. The Braves beat New York by at least 2-runs in 4 of their 6 matchups, and I like the Braves runline in this one as well. 

So for our Braves vs. Mets expert pick, take the Atlanta Braves Runline (-1.5) for Saturday.
