There is something about the New York Mets that seem to awaken the Atlanta Braves who own a 112-81 record against them over the last decade. The Braves can't be feeling well as they've the first two in this series, so I think they come out hungry for this one. Ervin Santana has pitched well, winning his last two starts, but more importantly is what he has done to this Mets' lineup this season. Santana owns a pair of wins vs. New York, working 15 innings, allowing just a single run. Dillon Gee is off of a rehab start and will have a pitch count for this game, so the Braves will get a long look at the Mets' pen, which isn't a good thing for New York. The Braves have been solid against right-handed pitching at 9-2 in their last 11, and the Mets are just 29-62 in their last 91 as a home dog. Play on Atlanta.
