After Thursday’s day game in Pittsburgh, the Atlanta Braves are off to New York to face the still struggling New York Mets. The Braves own a 72-41 record with a 9.5 game division lead. The Mets, however, sit below .500 with a 52-62 record and are 20.5 games out of first place.
The series begins tonight at 7:20 ET with Charlie Morton making his 23rd start of the year. Morton has struggled tremendously in his last four starts, but looks to gain some ground tonight against Mets starter Tylor Megill.
A doubleheader is set for Saturday.
