Player Analysis
J. D. Martinez has been a consistent performer for the Braves this season. He has accumulated a .305 batting average, along with 28 home runs and 80 RBIs. His ability to deliver in clutch situations has been evident, and he has been particularly effective against right-handed pitchers. This season, Martinez has shown a knack for hitting doubles and getting on base, making him a valuable asset in the Braves' lineup.
Opposing Analysis
The Mets will counter with Kodai Senga, who is set to make his debut. Senga, a right-handed pitcher, has been highly anticipated by Mets fans. However, his lack of MLB experience might be a factor that the Braves could exploit. The Mets' bullpen, while generally effective, has had its moments of inconsistency, which could play into the Braves' hands, especially if they manage to get to Senga early in the game.

| Player | W-L | ERA | Strikeouts |

| Charlie Morton (ATL) | 5-5 | 3.92 | 101 |
