"I don't trust them. I know how well the Mets have played, but no deGrom, no Syndergaard this series, who are the Mets," asks Chuckery. "Handle your business, you are the better team. The Braves are the better team, the Mets are 27-36 on the road, and here's a chance to step on their neck."
"Three entirely different themes to this nine-game homestand," explains Fricke. "The Mets series is cut and dried right in your face to slow their roll. The Dodgers come in and you have to put a little bit of doubt about a potential playoff series. And then the Marlins come in you gotta do some payback and step on the necks of the teams you should be stepping on the necks of. If this nine-game set ends anything worse than 6-3 I'm going to have some concerns.
It would appear that some fans feel the exact same.
This next week and a half is big for the #Braves. Nine-game homestand. Mets are a team you need to keep distance between, Dodgers will be a real test of how prepared they are for postseason and Marlins they should continue to dominate. Need 6-3 or better. #ChopOn
