Nolan McLean (NYM) Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-179)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Braves prepare to face the Mets, all eyes will be on Nolan McLean’s strikeout performance. While McLean has shown flashes of brilliance, the matchup paints a different picture. The Braves' potent lineup has been making contact and minimizing strikeouts, leading to a trend that favors the under on McLean's strikeout total of 6.5. Over the past few weeks, Atlanta has consistently put the ball in play, averaging fewer than 7 strikeouts per game against right-handed pitchers like McLean. Coupled with the Mets' recent struggles to find their rhythm at the plate, the odds lean heavily towards McLean falling short of his strikeout mark today. With the Braves’ aggressive approach and the likelihood of early run support, expect McLean to focus more on pitching to contact than racking up K's. Taking the under on his strikeouts feels like a savvy play in this matchup.

As the Braves gear up to face the Mets, all eyes will be on Michael Harris II, but don’t be surprised if he struggles to find his rhythm at the plate. With the New York pitching staff on a hot streak, Harris has faced difficulties against right-handed pitchers recently, managing just a handful of hits over his last few games. The Mets' starting pitcher has been particularly effective, holding opponents to a low batting average with an impressive strikeout rate, which could stifle Harris’s chances of connecting. Additionally, the Braves have been known to rely heavily on power hitting lately, often leading to fewer opportunities for players like Harris to rack up hits. Given the combination of a challenging matchup and recent trends, betting on him to stay under 1.5 hits seems like a sound move as the weekend series heats up.
Bo Bichette (TOR) Under 1.5 Hits (-227)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Atlanta Braves host the New York Mets on July 5, 2026, all eyes will be on Bo Bichette. However, betting the under on his hits at 1.5 seems prudent. The Braves' pitching staff has been nothing short of exceptional lately, boasting a stingy ERA that's among the league's best. They thrive on keeping opposing hitters off-balance, and today, they face a Mets lineup that has struggled to find consistency. Bichette, while talented, may find himself challenged against a pitcher who’s excelled at limiting contact. With the Braves allowing just over half a hit per inning to opposing batters recently, it’s tough to envision Bichette racking up multiple hits. Given the trends and the way the Braves have been shutting down hitters, the under on 1.5 hits for Bichette feels like a smart play in this matchup.
