Write Up: The Braves enter this game having lost two straight but have been playing reasonably well in the early going and check in with a 8-7 record. Good opportunity for Atlanta to end their mini-slump against a poor New York team that were dominated by the Braves last year. The Mets will start John Maine and he’s looked pretty sketchy in his outings this season with an 0-1 record and a hefty 10.38 ERA. Sure he has thrown better at home with an over 7 ERA. The Braves send Kawakami to the mound who has been hot and cold. He has not received much run support in his starts, and that should not be a problem for Atlanta against Maine. Despite a 1-2 record, Kawakami has pitched well against the Mets with a 2.41 ERA.
Pick: Atlanta Braves -125
These "Thread Picks" are 5-1 so far, lets hopefully cash another one tonight!
