One week from today we will be talking about the first playoff games of the season.
But much is to be settled between now and then. Specifically, the NL East race between the Mets and Braves, as well as an NL wild-card spot between the Brewers and Phillies.
Those former two teams begin a crucial series in Atlanta tonight with a stellar pitching matchup of Jacob deGrom vs. Max Fried. Whoever wins tonight will have the upper-hand to clinch that spot and a first-round bye in the new MLB postseason format.
And we have a bet recommendation to make on that game, too! One of our experts is picking a side on that huge matchup, and another sees big-time value in tonight’s game between the flailing White Sox and playoff-bound Padres.
