Chris Bassitt (6-6, 3.94) is scheduled to pitch for the Mets against Charlie Morton (5-3, 4.21). Both will be working on four days of rest.

Bassitt vs Morton

Bassitt is 1-2 with a 3.66 ERA in his last three outings and took the loss against the Miami Marlins last Friday in New York despite notching a quality start. He allowed two runs and six hits in six innings with three strikeouts and no walks in his first start since coming off the COVID-19 injured list

He was not happy about the IL stint.

This will be Bassitt’s second career start versus the Braves. He faced them May 2 at Citi Field and lost while surrendering three runs in seven innings.

Bassitt has a 4-2 road record in 2022 but a 5.17 ERA in seven starts. He is 3-1 with a 3.45 in five starts during the day. The Mets are 9-7 when Bassitt pitches.

Morton has been pitching well since a rocky start to the season, going 4-0 with a 3.33 ERA in his last 12 rotation turns.

Morton beat the Washington Nationals last Friday at Truist Park. He worked seven innings, giving up two runs and four hits while striking out seven and walking three.

Morton is 3-0 at home this season with a 3.77 ERA in eight starts. He has also made eight starts in day games, going 2-2 with a 3.26 ERA. The Braves have a 10-7 record when he starts.

The Mets’ Francisco Lindor has been stymied by Morton, going 2 for 26 (.077) with two doubles. Pete Alonso, though, is 4 for 10 (.400) with a double.

Mets vs Braves Betting Outlook

The Braves used the longball to beat the Mets on Tuesday night.

Matt Olson, who has +10000 National League MVP odds, hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning to put the Braves ahead 2-1. Adam Duvall then hit a two-run shot an inning later to give Atlanta some cushion.

Both teams had just five hits.

Mets right fielder Starling Marte is expected to miss his fourth straight game Wednesday with left groin tightness.

The Braves plan to activate closer Kenley Jansen from the injured list prior to Wednesday’s game. He has been out since June 27 with an irregular heartbeat.

The teams have split six games this season, but the Braves are 44-29 against the Mets since 2018.
