Prime-Time First TD Bets — Monday Night Football, Week 16
Alex Christenson
Welcome to a Friday edition of MLB Best Bets! We’ll aim to get our weekend rolling with a look into an NL East rivalry series kicking off in New York with the Atlanta Braves facing the Mets.
The Atlanta offense comes into Citi Field scorching hot. The Braves have scored at least four runs in nine straight games. Tylor Megill will have the daunting task of trying to slow down this potent Atlanta lineup. The 28-year-old right-hander has struggled this season and brings a 6-5 record with a 5.45 ERA into the contest. Megill has allowed opponents to score at least five runs in five of his last seven appearances.
The Braves have crushed righties as a team this season. They have the best team average (.267) and wRC+ (120) against that split.
