With a double-header against the Nationals on tap for Saturday and the smallest of playoff hopes alive, the Mets will go with Jacob deGrom in Game 1, followed by Rick Porcello in Game 2.
Making a push for his third straight NL Cy Young Award, deGrom struck out 14 Braves hitters in his last start and comes into Saturday with a 2.14 era and 94 strikeouts in 63 innings pitched.
Porcello, meanwhile, also faced the Braves in his previous start, allowing one run and three hits while striking out 10 over seven innings.
