The East is wrapped up and the Braves are once again the kings. The Mets were actually hoping to challenge for the division but instead will finish below .500 and more than 20 games out of 1<SUP>st</SUP>. One of the Mets recent acquisitions and hopeful saviors will pitch tonight against the only other team he’s ever known.<O></O>
NY has won 2 straight with Tom Glavine after dropping 11 of his last 14 starts. They are 5-10 with him vs. division opposition and the lefty is 4-9 with a 4.23 ERA in those games. He is also 1-5 against his old team with a 9.00 ERA. <O></O>
The Mets have actually won 4 of their last 5 games but playing teams this season who outscore their opponents by a ½ RPG or more they are 6-21.<O></O>
<ST1:CITY><ST1LACE>Atlanta</ST1LACE></ST1:CITY> is 18-7 in this series the last 3 years at the Ted. They were rained out for only the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> or 3<SUP>rd</SUP> time in field history last night as Jeanne made her way NE. The Braves swept <ST1:STATE><ST1LACE>Florida</ST1LACE></ST1:STATE> over the weekend and they’re 32-19 against LHP. <O></O>
Jaret Wright is the #1 reason this team fought back from their bleak start this season to take yet another division title. The former <ST1:CITY><ST1LACE>Cleveland</ST1LACE></ST1:CITY> Indian is 12-4 with a 2.34 ERA at night while also posting an 8-1 mark against the East as well as a 2.66 ERA. <O></O>
