After picking up a series in Milwaukee over the weekend, the Braves are returning home for a week-long homestand. They’ll be kicking off seven straight days of baseball in Cobb County with their first series of the season against the New York Mets.
While the Mets may getting off to the least-slow start of any team in the NL East, they’ve still got their fair share of problems. The big issue for the Mets right now (as it’s been at times over the years) is the fact that the injury bug has reared back and taken a big ol’ chomp out of their squad.
