Braves vs Mets

Underdog swagger rises in Queens tonight

Atlanta Braves

Braves (35-40) VS Mets (46-31)

23 Jun 2025 | 7:10 PM ET | Citi Field, New York

New York Mets
Moneyline Pick – New York Mets (+115): B

The Mets enter Monday’s game riding a bar run of form, having lost eight of their last ten games, while the Braves continue to rebound from a poor start, with a 7-3 run, but remain without key contributors on both the mound and at the plate. Atlanta’s starter has historically dominated New York, but the Mets have found success in recent bullpen outings and carry the kind of late-game reliability that can swing tight matchups. With both clubs nearing the midpoint of the season, the stakes are rising fast in the Wild Card race, and the Mets’ recent consistency offers a quiet edge in what projects to be a tight divisional battle.

Even though the Braves hold the historical pitching advantage, the context has changed. New York’s bullpen has been nails lately, and momentum favours a team getting contributions from all phases. Atlanta still feels a bit out of sync, and the lineup hasn’t looked quite right without a few key pieces. Backing the Mets here feels like the smarter play, especially at home where they’ve been building rhythm. The prediction is for New York to take this one, and we’re tagging it with a B grade.

Over/Under Pick - Under 8.5 Runs (-110): B

The Braves come in with a stop-start offense and weakened rotation as another veteran left-hander takes the mound, while New York counters with a well-rested southpaw whose recent performance has kept Atlanta’s hitters largely in check. Atlanta’s hurler holds a strong historical ERA against this Mets lineup, but New York’s bullpen reliability suggests late-game control. With both clubs approaching the halfway mark and playoff implications in sharp focus, the circumstances lean toward a close, well-pitched game. The pick lands on the Mets moneyline, reflecting confidence in the visitors’ recent form and depth.

This looks like a battle dominated by pitching, where an extra reliever or a matchup shift late could provide the margin. The Mets’ starter has kept runners off base and his team’s relief core has delivered in high-leverage situations. Meanwhile, Atlanta’s offense has cooled off during their current slump, and their starter comes off a less effective month. New York’s structure and situational advantages make backing them feel like the right play. The prediction is a Mets win, rated with a B grade. Continue following us for more expert picks and bets.

Spread Pick - New York Mets, +1.5 (-155): B+

The rivalry heats up as a hot-hitting switch-hitter greets a struggling home club that has snapped their losing streak but, still have dropped eight of their last ten and remains without key offensive and pitching contributors. The visitors arrive with momentum with a 7-3 run, fresh arms in the bullpen, and a starter with strong recent performance metrics. In contrast, the home side’s relievers are stretched thin, and their slump has underlined deeper consistency issues. With both teams nearly at the season’s midpoint, every game now influences positioning, especially in this tight Wild Card battle. Expect a tense, low-scoring affair where a solitary run could decide the outcome.

It’s shaping up to be a classic pitchers’ duel, low run total, high leverage, every pitch counted. The traveling team’s bullpen has delivered consistently this month, and their rotation depth gives them a slight edge late in the game. On the flip side, the home club’s relievers have been tested heavily and aren’t giving signs of stabilization. With the visitors’ hitting balance and arm control, the laid run line feels justified. This prediction earns a B+ grade. Continue following us for more expert picks and bets.
