2. There's a lot at stake!

Just judging by the starting pitchers, I like Atlanta's combo of Schwellenbach and Sale better than New York's Megill and Severino.

In terms of injuries, the Braves' roster has taken the far bigger hits. 3B Austin Riley is gone for the season with an injured hand. Star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. has missed much of the season with a torn ACL and won't be back until next season. Ace pitcher Spencer Strider has also been out most of this season due to an elbow ligament. And reliever A.J. Minter has undergone hip surgery.

The Mets are relatively healthy. They are without pitcher Kodai Senga, who likely would have factored into this series had he been ready to go.
