Mets vs Braves MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 17)

First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. ET at Truist Park. The Braves (31–39) host division-leading Mets (45–27) in the first game of a three-game series. Atlanta is a modest favorite (–133 moneyline, 8.5 over/under), but New York’s rotation depth and offense give them a puncher’s chance.

• With ace Kodai Senga sidelined, Paul Blackburn has returned to the rotation, backed by strong work from David Peterson (2.49 ERA).
• Atlanta has underperformed this season (now 13 games back) and its offensive output ranks among the NL’s lowest.
• Left-hander David Peterson (Mets, 5–2, 2.49 ERA, 71 Ks) opposes right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach (Braves, 5–4, 3.11 ERA, 84 Ks).

New York Mets Player Prop Pick: David Peterson

The Mets remain atop the NL East—with a 45–27 record—and have elite starting pitching, despite recent rotation injuries. David Peterson has been especially dominant, delivering a shutout complete game and averaging nearly a strikeout per inning. Offensively, veterans Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo provide consistent production.

• Peterson averages nearly a strikeout per inning (71 Ks in 79.2 IP).
• Faces a Braves lineup that strikes out often and lacks consistency.
• Dominated with six strikeouts in a recent complete-game shutout.

Atlanta Braves Player Prop Pick: Spencer Schwellenbach

Once a playoff staple, the Braves have stumbled to a 31–39 record this season. Key hitters like Matt Olson and Austin Riley have struggled. Spencer Schwellenbach holds a steady 3.11 ERA and has recorded quality starts, but Atlanta’s offense remains below-average.

• Recorded nine strikeouts in his last complete-game effort.
• Boasts 84 Ks in 89.2 IP (8.4 K/9), with strong control (1.00 WHIP).
• Faces a Mets team with a healthy mix of contact and strikeout hitters.
