Why you should back the Braves

Atlanta’s offense draws headlines for its power, and the Braves are a constant threat to the opposition at the dish. However, the Braves are also tremendous in run prevention, including an elite bullpen. Atlanta leads the National League in wins above replacement from relief pitchers, and the Braves improved that unit with the addition of Raisel Iglesias at the trade deadline. 

The Braves are in the top three of the NL in ERA and strikeout rate from relievers, and Atlanta’s offense leads the league in home runs and total bases. Seven members of the Braves roster have double-digit home runs, and the club is near the top of the NL in runs scored, slugging percentage, OPS, doubles, hits and batting average. Austin Riley has been one of the best players in the NL this season, including a Player of the Month showing in July, and he anchors a deep and productive lineup.

Why you should back the Mets

The Mets are No. 2 in the National League in runs allowed this season, and New York’s bullpen is outstanding. The Mets are in the top four of the National League in ERA from relief pitchers, and New York’s bullpen is generating more than 10 strikeouts per nine innings. On the offensive side, it is easy to see why the Mets lead the NL East with the second-best record in the NL overall. New York is in the top three of the NL in runs scored, hits, doubles, strikeout avoidance and batting average. 

The Mets are also above the NL median in doubles, slugging, OPS and total bases. Two-time All-Star Pete Alonso is a big part of that success, as he ranks in the top three in home runs for the fourth straight season with an OPS over .900 and a slugging percentage well over the .500 mark in 2022.
