An NL East showdown has the New York Mets (53-33) traveling to play the Atlanta Braves (52-35) on Monday evening, with the first pitch set for 7:20 p.m. ET. Atlanta is listed as a -130 favorite (risk $130 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Mets vs. Braves odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under for total runs scored is 7.5 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page).

Before making any Mets vs. Braves picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is 275-236 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season, returning over $400 for $100 players. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.

The model knows Atlanta shortstop Dansby Swanson is a smooth batter who has displayed patience at the dish. Swanson makes consistent contact and knows how to get base. The 2022 All-Star leads the team in batting average (.302), on-base percentage (.357), and hits (101). He went 3-for-6 including a double on July 9.

The model also knows New York first baseman Pete Alonso is looking to continue his stellar campaign. Alonso owns the bat speed and strength to constantly smash home runs and extra-base hits. The two-time All-Star is tied for fifth in the MLB in home runs (23) and first in RBIs (70). On July 9, he belted a solo homer.

Now, the model has set its sights on Mets vs. Braves. We can tell you the model is leaning over the total, and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value. You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
