The Braves and Mets meet for the first time this season as they begin a four-game set at Citi Field. The Braves will throw Max Fried against Chris Bassitt today and will follow with the rest of the top of their rotation over the next two days, including a doubleheader on Tuesday. Max Scherzer, who pitched for New York yesterday, will not appear in this series.
After two days of DH duty which saw more dreadful play by the Atlanta outfield, Ronald Acuña Jr. returns to right field, which shunts Travis Demeritte into left and Marcell Ozuna into the DH spot.
