The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves are deadlocked during their chase for the NL East title. Let's examine the matchup with our Mets-Braves picks.
After the Braves' 5-2 win on Friday night, New York and Atlanta are tied for first in the NL East with less than a week remaining in the regular season. It'll be a pitcher's duel again on Saturday, as Max Scherzer takes the mound for the Mets along with Kyle Wright for the Braves.
