The set-up: The Mets and Braves conclude their three game series on Monday night and in my opinion, I think the home side has the advantage here in this duel of team "aces." The visitors go with Jacob deGrom (0-0, 1.64 ERA) gave up two runs over six innings while striking out four in a no-decision vs. the Red Sox on Wednesday. deGrom continues to be the victim of poor run support and with the recent off field issues involving Yoenis Cespidis, things aren't looking any better for this already struggling New York hitting line-up.

The pick: Mike Soroka (0-0, 1.59) gets the nod for the home side and he'd give up three runs (just two earned) over 5.1 innings while also striking out five in a no-decision vs. the Rays on Wednesday. Note that Soroka was extremely dominant in all "night" games last year as well, going 9-2 with a 2.50 ERA. I like Soroka and the Braves to lay the hammer down here.

This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the Atlanta Braves.
