T.M. Selection: New York Mets.

I like the New York Mets to win this game against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday. The Mets have looked really good lately, winning 8/10 of their previous 10 games. They just lost to the Braves yesterday though, losing that game badly 13-1, and I expect the Mets to bounce back here with a win. The Mets have one of the best records in the league after a loss this year and they have also looked really good against division rivals all year. The Braves have looked good in their games lately but they also haven't had as tough a schedule as the Mets during that time, and I see the Mets bouncing back after a bad loss like that since they have been doing that all year. Taijuan Walker (10-3, 3.43 ERA) is up for the Mets here and he has looked really good in a majority of his starts this year. He did have a really bad start the other week giving up 8 runs, but he bounced back in his most recent start and really hasn't given up more than 3 runs in a majority of his starts all year. That bad start where he gave up 8 runs was against the Braves just over a week ago, but that was his worst start all year and I don't see that happening again here since Walker will work hard to pitch a much better game this time and I see him bouncing back here. Charlie Morton (5-5, 4.26 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he hasn't looked great in his starts this year. Morton has been great throughout his career but he is having a really bad year and he has been consistent with his poor pitching all year. He had another start in his most recent one where he gave up 5 runs and he has done that in 2/3 of his previous 3 starts now. He hasn't pitched well in his starts against the Mets this year either as he has seen them more than once and has given up a ton of runs in all of those starts. I think the Mets are going to put up runs on him again in this game and I see them bouncing back after that bad game yesterday. I like the Mets to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Mets.
