Atlanta swept by the Mets in adouble header yesterday and will be looking to get more today as they send Jurjjens to the Mound to face off against Pelfrey.

Jurjjens 4-3 with an era of 2.82 has had mixed rsults in his last 3 starts,he won his last start against the A's 3-2 but lost his start before 0-5 against the Pirates and won his start 3 games ago against the Padres 5-3 to leave him with numbers in his last 3 games of 1-1 with an era of 2.82.Career wise against the Mets and Jurjjens is 1-0 with an era of 4.50,going 6 inning s and giving up 2 hits and 3 earned runs with 4 walks in a 6-3 win to the Braves.

Pelfrey 2-4 with an era of 4.17 takes the mound for the Mets today hoping for far better luck than he has been getting,Pelfrey has lost his last 3 starts even though he has'nt been that bad,Pelfrey went 7 innings in his last start against the Nationals and gave up only one run,but that was enough for a 1-0 loss to them,his two starts before that were bad,he went down 1-7 to the Reds and 4-10 against the D-Backs to leave him with numbers of 0-3 with an era of 3.86.Career wise and it does'nt get any better for him matching up against the Braves,this season he has faced them once going 5 innings and giving up 9 hits with 5 earned runs as well as 4 walks,he has numbers against the Braves of 1-2 with an era of 5.40,he has pitched 18 innings and has given up 19 hits,11 earned runs and 11 walks.

The - 1.5 might be a bit of a stretch as the Mets are a tight team who can remain close to their opposition,but they do not have a great record against Atlanta in Atlanta,they have now lost their last 4 games there by an average losing margin of 3 runs and also both sides have different things going on .the Mets are the higest scoring side in the League with 5 runs per game but the Braves are the higest hitting team in the League with 9 hits per game,the Braves also are the hardest side to score on in the League only giving up 3 runs on average per game and the braves are the hardest team to strike out in the league on average only striking out 5 times per match and on the back of all of that mumbo jumbo I'll back the Braves behind Jujjens to get past them again by more than 2 runs ..Good Luck.
