New York at Atlanta

This is the sixth straight road game for the New York Mets as they wind down a lost season that was supposed to be much better. They've lost five in a row to drop 21 games under .500, and the pitching has been abysmal allowing 52 runs in five games! The Mets are on an 8-20 run on the road. Atlanta is home for the third straight game playing well, winning five of six and seven of nine. They've cashed five times as a dog the last nine contests. The Braves are on a 6-1 run against losing teams, plus 11-5 when R.A. Dickey starts against losing squads. Dickey is 4-0 with a 2.97 ERA against the Mets, his former team, including two victories this year. Play Atlanta.
