Mets vs Braves MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 19)

The New York Mets (45–29) wrap up a three-game series in Atlanta, trying to snap a season-high five-game losing streak. They face the Braves (33–39), who seek to complete a series sweep following consecutive wins, including a 5–0 shutout in Game 2. First pitch is at 7:15 p.m. ET at Truist Park.

• Mets have dropped five in a row and trail the Phillies by one game in the NL East after being shut out last night. The Braves have taken both prior games this series.
• Mets go with Clay Holmes (7–3, 2.87 ERA, 68 K) versus Braves’ Spencer Strider (1–5, 4.35 ERA, 37 K), fresh off a season-best 13-strikeout game.
• Braves are modest favorites (-130), and the total is set at 8.5 with Under trending.

New York Mets Player Prop Pick: Clay Holmes

The Mets lead the NL East but are hampered by key injuries (Senga, Megill) and recent offensive struggles. Their rotation is deep, but the bullpen and lineup have lapsed, resulting in a confidence-crushing slump. Holmes must carry innings and strikeouts to halt the skid.

• Holmes has averaged nearly 8 K/9 and recorded multiple 6+ K outings.
• Mets need length and production from him to end the skid.
• Braves hitters carry a 27% strikeout rate, suited to Holmes’ weapons.

Atlanta Braves Player Prop Pick: Spencer Strider

Despite a losing record, the Braves have shown fight at home. Acuña Jr. and Olson sparked offense, while Strider’s return from injury has peaked with strikeout dominance. Atlanta aims to capitalize tonight and sweep the Mets.

• Strider struck out 13 in his last start but has not been in double digits since; recent K totals are around 5–7.
• Mets rank low in strikeouts and battle contact consistently.
• Strider may be on a limited pitch count in his second game back from injury.
