Fresh off of a 7-4 road trip, The Atlanta Braves return home for a rematch against the New York Mets.

Atlanta enters Monday series with a 4-8 record head to head against New York and are 5.5 games back in the NL East standings. The Braves have won six straight since the debacle in New York while the Mets have won two straight and eight of 10 overall.
Atlanta juggled its rotation at the end of the road trip, and Spencer Strider will go into Monday’s start with seven days of rest since his last outing in New York.
