Who is starting for the Mets?

Marcus Stroman (2.35 ERA, 1.04 WHIP), who went the distance in his last start against the Cubs but took the loss anyway. He allowed two runs on four hits, including one homer, while striking out eight and walking one over seven innings of work.

Stroman has given the Mets length all season long to save their bullpen a bit, going at least six innings in his last eight starts. He’s also throwing strikes 67 percent of the time, giving himself good spots to work in during his outing.

Who is starting for the Braves?

Charlie Morton (4.03 ERA, 1.21 WHIP), who was stellar in his 112-pitch outing against the Cardinals last time. He allowed just three hits and no runs while striking out seven and walking none. This came after a start that saw four earned runs come across over just four innings.

Upcoming schedule

The Mets finish their series with the Braves on Wednesday at 7:10 p.m. on SNY with Max Fried going for Atlanta and no starter named yet for New York.
