Atlanta's Dan Uggla and Freddie Freeman have a combined one hit against Met's starting pitcher Dickey in 20 at bats. Uggla currently has a 25 game hitting streak with a .354 streak average while Freeman has an 18 game hitting streak with a .414 streak average. The Mets hold a 5-4 advantage this season in this matchup and are looking to break a four game slump. The Mets average a full 1/2 runs per game average over Atlanta, but have only plated 8 runs in their four game slump. The Braves on the other side of the coin have been 10-10 since the All Star Break. The Braves have struck out 865 times this season while the Mets have struck out 740. This may indicates better plate discipline by the Mets which may lead to baserunners aboard in the series. Dickey's familarity with the Brave's hitters could enable him to break one if not both streaks tonight. He is 1-2 4.11 ERA in 5 career outings versus Atlanta while Hudson is 0-2 7.88 ERA versus the Mets this season. Source ESPN MLB Preview.
