Prediction published on 9/23/24, 7:00 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 10/11/24 at 4:16 PM in MLB Picks

The second game of one of the most crucial MLB series of the regular season between Atlanta Braves and New York Mets will be played next Wednesday, September 25th at 05:20 pm Central Time. This game will represent the last call for the Braves, as they currently are 1.5 games behind the National League Wild Card spots, whilst the Mets are just 0.5 games above that line.

Taking that into consideration, will force the best players from Atlanta to make a huge effort on keeping their level as high as possible, being a fact that Marcell Ozuna is expected to take the batting leadership as he has been the best player with 94 runs and 38 home runs scored this season. Nevertheless, it cannot be forgotten that Ozuna hasn’t renewed his contract with the Braves, concerning fact that could affect the overall performance of the rest of the team.

Meanwhile, New York Mets are crossing through very difficult challenges due to Francisco Lindor’s absence due to a back injury. However, he announced that he would most probably return to the pitch on this series against the Braves. However, he also told that he’s still suffering pain, so he definitely isn’t going to be in his best shape that allowed him to score 103 runs throughout the season.
