Atlanta has won 14 of the past 17 meetings and six of the past seven against the Mets, who had a four-game win streak snapped with a 7-3 loss to St. Louis as New York had to use five relievers. The Braves lost for the first time in six games 4-3 to San Francisco, but they still are 42-21 at home and 47-19 their past 66 games overall. The Mets have lost eight of 11 on the road and David Peterson is 3-7 with a 5.45 ERA and 1.65 WHIP and seldom pitches past the fourth inning in games that he starts putting more pressure on a beleagured bullpen. Atlanta will start Allan Winans for his third appearance this season and he comes off seven shutout innings on four hits against the Mets on Aug. 12. New York is 27-39 on the road and is only one game ahead of last-place Washington in the NL East. Take the Braves as a Max Play.
