The Mets (16-7) will welcome the defending World Series Champion Braves (10-13) to Citi Field for a four-game showdown. The two clubs were originally supposed to square off in the fourth and fifth games of 2022 before the MLB lockout forced a re-working of the schedule, resulting in Tuesday’s doubleheader (as well as one in August). The two sides played very evenly against each other last year (if you can believe it), with the Mets winning nine and losing ten against Atlanta.
The Mets are coming off a seventh consecutive series win to start the season as they took two out of three against the Phillies over the weekend.
