The Atlanta Braves and New York Mets will wrap up their three-game set at Citi Field tonight, with the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader set for 7:10 p.m. ET in Queens. Atlanta will look to avoid a sweep after dropping Monday’s opener 14-3 before falling earlier this afternoon in Game 1, 3-2.

Despite the consecutive losses, the Braves remain firmly in control of the NL East with a 62-45 record and a 6-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies. New York, meanwhile, improved to 46-62 with this afternoon’s victory but still sits 16.5 games back in the division and 10.5 games back of the league’s final Wild Card spot.

Atlanta hands the ball to ace Chris Sale in Game 2, who enters with an 11-6 record, a 2.19 ERA and 134 strikeouts across 111 innings this season. The Mets counter with right-hander Christian Scott, who has impressed in limited action this year, posting a 3-2 record with a 3.13 ERA across 14 starts.
