 The Braves won six of 10 home games against the Mets last year. The Braves hit 21 homers in those games, including six (with two each by Freddie Freeman and Josh Donaldson) in a 10--8 loss when these teams last met in Atlanta, last Aug. 15 (Pete Alonso and Amed Rosario each had five hits in that game).

 The Mets' starting staff looks different this year, with Zach Wheeler in Philadelphia and Marcus Stroman and Noah Syndergaard injured. This will likely be the Mets' first series of three or more games in the last three seasons in which neither Wheeler, Syndergaard nor Jacob deGrom (who pitched Wednesday) starts.

 Ronald Acuna is 4-for-28 with no RBIs and an MLB-high 14 strikeouts. Since MLB began to track RBIs 100 years ago, just 10 others—including two Hall of Famers—struck out at least 14 times with no RBIs in their first seven games of a season. Not surprisingly those HOF'ers were pitchers: Tom Seaver (1968) & Sandy Koufax (1962 and 1965); Koufax had an MLB-record total of 18 strikeouts in his first seven games in ‘62.

 Yoenis Cespedes celebrated the arrival of the universal DH by homering in the Mets' 1--0 season-opening win over Atlanta. Only two other DHs for NL teams homered in a 1--0 game: Matt Holliday for St. Louis against the Rays in 2014, and Sherman Obando for the Expos at Baltimore in 1997.

 Rick Porcello's greatest ability has been his availability.  Porcello made 339 starts over his first 11 seasons in the majors (2009--19); that's 30.8 starts per season. Only five others averaged 30 starts over those 11 years: Justin Verlander, 32.4; Jon Lester, 32.0; Max Scherzer, 31.7; Zack Greinke, 31.3; Cole Hamels, 30.6.

 Sean Newcomb has pitched more innings against the Mets (44.1) than against any other MLB team. Over eight starts and six relief appearances against the Mets, Newcomb allowed only one home run in 161 opponents' at-bats -- Todd Frazier hit that one in New York on June 30 of last year.

HP - Porter, 1B - Barber, 2B - Wegner, 3B - Foster

A pair of first-round picks from the 2017 MLB Draft will square off on Sunday when the Atlanta Braves host the New York Mets in the third game of a four-game series between the two NL East rivals.
New York will send left-hander David Peterson (1-0, 3.18 ERA) against Atlanta right-hander Kyle Wright (0-1, 16.88) in the afternoon contest. Peterson was the 20th overall pick in the draft out of the University of Oregon. Wright was the No. 5 pick out of Vanderbilt.

Mets' Peterson, Braves' Wright square off in Atlanta

ATLANTA (AP)  Kyle Wright and the Atlanta bullpen combined on a 10-hit shutout and the Braves won their fifth in a row, beating the Mets 4-0 Sunday and blanking a New York lineup that found out late that slugger Yoenis Cespedes had opted out of playing any more this season.
Wright pitched scoreless ball for 3 1/3 innings despite allowing five hits and issuing four walks. Tyler Matzek (1-0), A.J. Minter, Shane Greene and Mark Melancon blanked New York over the final 5 2/3 innings to send the Mets to their fifth consecutive loss.
