New York Mets vs Atlanta Braves Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/24/25, 10:06 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/24/25 at 4:20 PM in MLB Picks

The Mets' bats have been featured heavily in their weekend series at Truist Park against the Braves. They won the first game 12-7, supported by their two-way player McLean on the mound; in that Friday game, Soto hit his 32nd home run of the season. The star to whom Soto is constantly compared, Acuña of the Braves, also hit another solo home run in the braves defeat.

But the Mets' home run flow increased on Saturday, in another 9-2 victory in which they started as favorites at -120 odds to win. The game was 3-2 going into the seventh inning, and then Alonso, Vientos, and Marte opened the game in a magical inning, each hitting a home run. In the ninth, Vientos hit his second of the game, and McNeil hit his 12th home run of the year. Marte also responded defensively with a throw from left field, getting Profar out at home.

Sunday's game will be played just after noon in a series in which the Mets hope to sweep and strengthen their position as the NL wild card. Four of the last five Mets-Braves games have resulted in a Game Total of OVER in betting, and the Braves will go tomorrow with their pitcher Elder, who has an ERA above 6.00 in 2025.
