Teams — Atlanta enters with a .731 OPS, 523 runs, a .249 team average, and a pitching staff carrying a 3.74 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. The Braves are 6-4 over their last 10, and their profile is balanced with the stronger offense and the better run-prevention numbers in this matchup. New York has a .694 OPS, 446 runs, a .235 team average, and a 4.18 team ERA with a 1.30 WHIP. The Mets are 5-5 in their last 10, and their offense has been less productive overall, which puts added pressure on Scott to miss bats while limiting free passes.
