Mets bats are cold but it's time to get hot with a 20-year old kid on the mound for the Braves in a tough spot. Mets have been dominant at home all season and Braves have struggled. I do not see a sweep here. Clay Holmes is allowing just a .200 BA at home.
Clay Holmes is a sinker ball pitcher and because of that, he historically hasn't allowed many home runs, but his HR allowed rate has climbed this season since he was converted into a starter. Holmes has allowed 2 home runs in three out of his last seven games. Acuna is 0-3 in his career against Holmes, but he has been swinging such a hot bat that it might not matter who is on the mound. Despite going 0 for 3 yesterday, Acuna is still batting .385 on the season with 9 HRs in just 29 games played. Against RHPs, Acuna is hitting .430 with 8 home runs. We set the line at +330 for Acuna to homer today.
On the surface, no team that has lost 10 of 11 should be laying this sort of a price against anyone. That applies to the Mets, enduring a wicked offensive downturn as this slump endures, and hardly sure Clay Holmes, even as one of the more-reliable NY starters, can turn things around on the mound as the Mets have also lost in his last two starts. Speaking of starts, Braves rookie Didier Fuentes struggled in his debut game last Friday in Miami, but his stuff is supposedly electric, and Brian Snitker would be more than thrilled with 4 or 5 somewhat quiet innings before turning to his bullpen.
