They are averaging almost eight runs a game and seeing great performances from Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil, and Brandon Nimmo. This Mets team is full of power hitters and has 26 home runs through 23 games.

They are one game behind the Braves and in the thick of the race. The Mets are still my pick to win this division. New York Mets (+160 at DraftKings Sportsbook) This losing streak reaffirmed my belief in the Mets winning the division. The pitching was not great in these games, but they really struggled to hit, only putting up nine runs in these games. They lost four games in a row (three to the Houston Astros). The Braves showed a crack in their armor last week.

It is also worth mentioning that the Braves’ bullpen has held it down and has a 3.56 ERA. Kyle Wright has been struggling, but Max Fried has a 0.60 ERA, and Bryce Elder and Spencer Strider have ERAs under two. They are averaging over five runs a game and have five hitters with 11 or more RBIs. There is no denying how impressive this Braves team is. The Braves are still atop the NL East with a 15-8 record. Atlanta Braves (-145 at DraftKings Sportsbook)
