The Mets are 7-2 in Taijuan Walker’s last nine starts. He has allowed three or fewer runs in all nine. At home, Walker is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA. He's also 5-0 vs. NL East foes, with a 2.79 ERA. The Mets also have a top closer in Edwin Diaz. On the other side, Ian Anderson has a 4.42 road ERA and has been walking a lot of batters. Look for the Mets' bats to stay hot and lay -135 on New York.

I expect the Braves to be motivated after losing the first game of their key series against the Mets. Thanks to victories in nine of 10 games, the Mets now have a 4.5-game lead in the division. But I look for Ian Anderson to hold his own after a one-hit gem in his last outing. Take the Braves as they get the upper hand in the final innings.

Were gonna go right back to the Mets here even with Edwin Diaz throwing 28 pitches last night. Ian Anderson is very hit or miss and he walks a ton of batters. That shouldn’t play today against a Mets lineup that is much deeper than it was before the trade deadline. Taijuan Walker has been one of the Mets best starters all season as he has pitched nine straight quality starts. Edwin Diaz should still be available today, take the Mets at home. I got this at -137 on my book so I encourage you to line shop because I wouldn't take it starting at -160.
