The Atlanta Braves FINALLY Get to Face the New York Mets This Weekend | Atlanta Braves Podcast

The Braves finally face the 2026 Mets after 68 games, and New York enters 30–38, last in the NL East, with the hardest remaining schedule and poor results in one-run games. The episode recaps a turbulent Mets offseason (Alonso and Díaz leaving, Nimmo and McNeil traded, additions like Luis Robert, Freddy Peralta, Bo Bichette, Devin Williams, and Luke Weaver) and a long injury list including Lindor, Robert, Senga, and others. Many veterans are underperforming, while call-ups like Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, and Jared Young have provided sparks. The rotation is thin, with Peralta and McLean highlighted and one starter TBD, and the bullpen has been shaky despite talent. Lindsay makes his series pick, favoring Atlanta due to roster advantages and better clubhouse chemistry.
