It was a pair of low scoring games in a double-header here yesterday, and look for more of the same today, especially by the home team. The Braves scored just one run in each of the two losses Saturday. New York has Seth Lugo (2.67 ERA career) on the mound making his first appearance of the year. He faces an Atlanta offense that is #18 in baseball in runs scored and slugging. Atlanta starter Jaime Garcia (3.21 ERA) is having a strong season, but has a 2-4 record with little run support. Garcia allowed three runs while striking out four over 7+ innings in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. That's four consecutive quality starts for the lefty, who has a 1.23 ERA and a 19-5 strikeout to walk ratio over 29+ innings during that stretch, but only one win to show for it as the Braves continue to offer him little run support. The Mets hit .244 as a team (#22), and Garcia is 29-14 UNDER the total at home against an NL team with a team batting average of .255 or worse. Play this game UNDER the total.
