Braves vs Mets: High-Stakes Start | New York Mets News

Braves’ AJ Smith-Shawver, fresh off Tommy John surgery, makes his first start in over a year and looks electric in rehab — but with a pitch count, he may not last long. Facing a struggling Sean Manaea, Atlanta has a golden chance to score early and exploit the Mets’ recent offensive explosion. With a total set at 8.5, expect fireworks — even if the bullpen gets tested under humid, stormy skies. This is a high-scoring, high-stakes opener with Atlanta’s pitching edge giving them the edge to steal Game 1. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
