New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves

Tuesday, April 09, 2024 – 07:20 PM ET at Truist Park


New York and Atlanta continue their first series of the season on Tuesday when Adrian Houser (0-0, 1.80) of the Mets goes up against Reynaldo López (0-0, 1.50) and the Braves. Bookmaker has installed the Braves on a -190 moneyline for the matchup.

Braves 8-3 Last 11 at Home in Rivalry

Houser’s Mets debut was good enough, efficiently getting through 5 innings on just 67 pitches and only allowing 1 run. New York bats failed to provide any support, however, in an extra inning loss, and Houser has been clubbed around by this Braves lineup in recent years.

Lopez was also a victim of no support in his Atlanta debut last week, tossing 6 innings of 1-run baseball in an eventual 3-2 loss to the White Sox. He faced the Mets 3 times last season, all from the Angels’ bullpen, and will be starting against New York for the first time since 2019.

Rain in Tuesday Forecast

New York entered Monday’s game averaging less than 3 RPG, so the 8 runs the Mets scored was uncharacteristic to say the least. Bettors will want to monitor the weather that includes a chance for rain in the Atlanta area, and consider a run-line play on the Braves to even the set.
