NL East foes meet for the first time this season as the Mets open four-game series with the Braves
Former Atlanta Brave starter Julio Teheran makes his 2024 season debut today against his former club as the New York Mets open a four-game series against the Atlanta Braves inside Truist Park. Teheran has been limited by injuries over the past three years having only appeared in 15 games since the start of the 2021 season appearing in only one game in 2021 and missing the entire 2022 season with a shoulder injury. The Braves will start veteran right-hander Charlie Morton (1-0, 0.00 ERA) who will make his home debut off a six-strikeout effort in his first start of the season last Monday in a 9-0 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia is off to a blazing start to the season hitting .387, good for seventh best in MLB, and comes into today with four-multi hit games in his first eight games of the season. Arcia posted career-highs in hits, doubles, home runs, RBIs and batting average as the everyday shortstop for Atlanta last season.
Pete Alonso leads New York with two home runs so far this season including a game-tying homer in the bottom of the ninth of Thursday’s come-from-behind win over Detroit. That home run gave the 29-year-old his 500th career RBI and is now six homers shy of 200 for his six-year career.
Atlanta has won eight of the last 10 games in this series and won the season series 10-3 in 2022.
