@KeepTheJuice21's +2375 Home Run Parlay & Mets @ Braves Prediction - 8/18

What a prime-time matchup we have tonight. Jacob deGrom hasn’t missed a beat in his return, already looking like the best pitcher in the league. Max Fried is as good an opponent as he’ll face though and with a whole season to prove the stats. The storied rivalry is at it’s best when both teams are at the top of the league and that is definitely the case tonight.

If this under makes you nervous it’s understandable – both offenses are top class and have averaged 11.7 runs per game in the series so far. But tonight aims to be different. 25 of the 35 total runs have come from the Braves and they’ll face their hardest test yet in deGrom. They were able to hit Scherzer but this Braves roster knows Scherzer intimately, facing him for the 3rd time in 5 weeks and plenty of times during his Washington tenure. DeGrom is a different beast. The Mets bats have actually slowed, only seeing success in the last matchup. Fried is the best Atlanta has to offer and will keep them on their toes. The total should stay close to or under 5 tonight by my model.

The Pick: Under 7 | -110 at Draft Kings
