New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves

Quick read:

I'm taking the over 8.5 runs – this game looks like a slugfest at a backyard BBQ, with both lineups primed to light the scoreboard.

The Braves have piled up 997 hits this season, while the Mets aren't far behind with 943, and together they've generated 1,075 runs; those numbers translate to plenty of baserunners and plenty of opportunities to drive them home.

A risk is the pitchers could bite early, but with the Mets having allowed 542 runs and the Braves 456, the odds are they’ll spend more time in the batter’s box than the bullpen.
