MLB: Wednesday's play

Play: Atlanta -132 (Teheran vs. Wheeler)

Time: 7:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Yes, the Mets rocked Julio Teheran on July 8. But he has usually been lights-out this season (2.96 ERA, 1.08 WHIP) and in his three other career starts against New York he has a 1.50 ERA. Teheran has won two straight and has lasted at least six innings in four straight road appearances. Zack Wheeler was roughed up a bit in his last start, and in three outings against the Braves this season he has surrendered eight runs on eighteen hits and has walked eight in 17.2 IP. The Mets could be without David Wright (shoulder) and Daniel Murphy (calf) for this one. Justin Upton is hitting .316 since the start of July and has 24 RBIs in his last 20 games, including 12 in his last seven contests. Atlanta has the better bullpen and its relievers have a 0.75 ERA in their last five games and a 0.78 ERA in their last 10 games.

Record: 180-125-7 (59.0%)
Bankroll: +171.44%
