Mets Gear Up for Braves Showdown
The New York Mets are set to continue their divisional matchup when they face the Atlanta Braves on August 22, kicking off a three-game series tonight.
Recently, the Mets concluded a series against the Nationals, which ended on a sour note with a 9-3 defeat after surrendering a lead. Now, they shift their focus to nine important games against NL East rivals, including a series with the Braves, followed by the Phillies, and then the Miami Marlins over Labor Day weekend.
The Braves have been doing well lately, boasting an 8-2 record over their last 10 games, yet they remain 16 games behind the division-leading Phillies. For the Mets, things haven’t been as great—they’re currently on a tough stretch, having lost seven of their last games.
