Mets vs. Braves: Key Players Missing in Crucial Series Showdown

The Mets have been having to endear life without Francisco Lindor and now it's having to be without Juan Soto as they welcome the Atlanta Braves to town this week. The Braves are making a playoff push and the Mets are looking at golf plans for October. You look at the Mets starters this week, not formidable at all. Braves certainly with Chris Sale, that's a big matchup for him and an easy one it would appear on paper on Tuesday. You know, hard to say that one team is going to sweep another because it is baseball, you never know, but Mets intentions are just completely different than the Braves right now, Tom. It really is. And, you know, the Braves certainly haven't been the team that they were to start the season, but this is a series that they should be looking to sweep. They should be looking to put the, you know, the pedal down, go, you know, all out to win this series, because this is a series that they don't want to look back on and say, oh, we gave up two games in some wonkiness that baseball can bring. As your point, it's tough to sweep any team, but they should be looking to come in here and sweep all three games, get on, you know, turn to the right direction for the Braves and move to the end of the season on a high note and go from there. Just sweep the Mets and move on.
