Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>New York:</b> Zack Wheeler (2-4 4.57 ERA)<br />
<b>Atlanta:</b> Mike Foltynewicz (5-4 2.31 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
Wheeler had a super outing in his latest pitching seven scoreless innings allowing three hits, but the lineup did not help him at all in a 1-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. The Mets have lost his last seven starts, but in three of his previous four starts, including his last two, he has not given up more than two earned runs. This series-opening game will be Wheeler's first start this season against the Braves.

<p>
In Foltynewicz’s latest he gave up two earned runs on five hits over five innings in a 3-1 loss to the San Diego Padres. The Braves had won his previous two starts where he only gave up one earned run, and in the start, prior to his last, he pitched a gem in a complete game shutout win over the Washington Nationals where he only gave up two hits. Before Foltynewicz's previous start he had five in a row where he did not allow more than one earned run. This will be his first start against the Mets this season.

Mets vs. Braves Prediction 6/12/18
The NY Mets offense is struggling and when I say "struggling" I mean ice-cold. The team has scored a total of 13 runs over they're last nine games with a hit sequence 5, 6,4,5,3,3,7,6, and 4 for 43 total hits. Of the projected line-up Asdrubal Cabrera .600, Jose Bautista .500 Michael Conforto .333 have had some success against tonight’s starter Mike Foltynewicz, but the sample size is minimal with a combined 12 at-bats. All three come into the game nowhere near their top form with A.Cabrera hitting 0.158, J.Bautista .000, and M. Conforto O.50 over the last seven days. Foltynewicz has two-lifetime starts against the Mets, and they weren't good allowing nine earned runs over just eight innings pitched, but those came in 2015 and 2016 in New York at Citi Field. He comes into this game at the top of his game allowing four earned runs over his last six games and brings a 2.35 home ERA.
Zack Wheeler gets the ball for the Mets, and he's coming off of his best game of the season pitching seven scoreless innings in a home start against the Orioles. Wheeler has been decent on the road this season with a 2-0 record and 3.86 ERA, and he has fared well against the Braves in the past and is currently on a four-game QS run, but those all came in 2014. Atlanta's current lineup is entirely different now and their expected line-up tonight has only a combined 17 at-bats against him. Tyler Flowers is one for one, but the one hit left the park, and Freddie Freeman is 7 of 14 with three extra-base hits, and Kurt Suzuki is the only other batter that has faced Wheeler, and he's one for two.
I rarely take the home side on the run line, but I think that the Braves can put up a handful of runs on a Mets team that may be hard-pressed to score.
