Braves Aim for 10th Home Victory Against Mets

The Atlanta Braves are set to pursue their 10th straight home victory on Monday as they begin a three-game series against the New York Mets. The Braves recently salvaged one game in a series against the New York Yankees and are returning to Atlanta for a six-game homestand.

Currently leading the National League East by 8.5 games, the Braves are also three games behind Milwaukee for the best record in the majors. The Mets, having defeated the Pirates 11-1 in their last game, are 5-1 on their ongoing nine-game road trip and have won six of their last ten games.

This series marks the final meetings of the season between the two teams, with New York holding a 6-4 advantage over Atlanta. The opening game will feature pitchers Bryce Elder for Atlanta and Christian Scott for New York. Elder has been performing well, winning his last three decisions, while Scott seeks to improve his record against the Braves.
