The New York Mets are aiming to break a two-week slump as they face the Atlanta Braves in the final game of a four-game series at Citi Field. After struggling recently, winning only one of their last twelve games, the Mets managed to secure a victory against Atlanta, highlighted by Juan Soto's two home runs and Ronny Mauricio's solid performance.

As they gear up for the Thursday night matchup, the Mets are currently -114 favorites, with a total runs over/under set at 8.5. Starting pitcher Griffin Canning, despite his win, has struggled lately, allowing four or more runs in his last three starts. The Braves, on the other hand, will counter with Grant Holmes, who recently posted a scoreless outing against the Miami Marlins. This matchup is crucial as the Mets trail the division-leading Philadelphia Phillies by just half a game.
