</h2>
<p>
New York: Robert Gsellman (0-2, 6.23 ERA)<br />
Atlanta: Julio Teheran (2-1, 3.38 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Robert Gsellman goes for the Mets tonight and in his last start he was lit up for five earned runs in four innings in a 8-2 loss to the Braves. New York had won his previous two starts, but the offense is to thank for that since he worked 11 innings and gave up 11 runs. In Gsellman’s four starts this season he has two losses and two no decisions and has gone 20 innings and given up 15 earned runs. He is allowing right-hand batters to hit .360 off him and in Gsellman’s only road start of the season he was shelled giving up eight runs in only four innings.

Julio Teheran gets the starting nod for the Braves and in his last outing he opposed Gsellman and went seven innings and gave up two earned runs in an 8-2 Atlanta win. He was hit hard in his previous outing, but in four of his five starts on the season he has not given up more than two earned runs. Teheran has two starts against New York this season and has held them to a .186 batting average and lasted 12 innings giving up two earned runs. While the Braves are only 5-15 in Teheran’s last 20 home starts they have won four of their last five games against a team with a losing record when he has been on the hill.
