It may be NFL Sunday, but this is also the last ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game of the regular season. Other than Aaron Judge's chase for the home run record (which we've broken down here), the NL East battle between the Mets and Braves has been the biggest storyline of the year.' After Atlanta won the opener, the two we tied atop the division. With the Mets bounce-back win last night they regained the division-lead. There's just 5 games left for these teams, so let's break down the best way to play this finale. Along with this same game parlay, be sure to check out our MLB picks for all of today's games.

Let's take a closer look at each leg of our same game parlay.
New York Mets ML (+108) over Atlanta Braves
The Mets had no chill when this series started up. They opened it up with future hall-of-famers Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer on the mound for the first 2 games. They've both won back-to-back Cy Young awards and are a primary reason for the Mets having such a great outlook for the postseason. Although they didn't get the Mets off to the best start to this division rivalry, there's a reason they're still favored to win the NL pennant over the Braves. Part of that is the depth of their starting rotation, which includes tonight's starter Chris Bassitt.
