After splitting two games at home against the Phillies, the Atlanta Braves are headed to New York where they will begin a five-game, in four days series against the New York Mets. The Braves are 63-42 on the season and will enter play Thursday 3.5 games behind the Mets in the NL East standings. While they have taken a game by game approach to the season, Brian Snitker admitted Sunday that you can’t help but be excited for the upcoming series.
“It’s why we play this thing. When you look at the schedule and everything, you hope you’re in it this weekend,” Snitker said of the upcoming series in New York.
