Its Tuesday, June 17 and the Mets (45-27) are in Atlanta to open a series against the Braves (31-39). David Peterson is slated to take the mound for New York against Spencer Schwellenbach for Atlanta. Tonight marks a rare occurrence in baseball. Both starters take the mound after pitching complete games in their last outing.

Tylor Megill and Griffin Canning turned in their two worst starts of the season in back-to-back days as the Mets got swept at home by the Rays. That those performances came on the heels of Kodai Senga's hamstring injury gave some people the ability to spew sky-is-falling fodder about the state of the Mets' rotation and how ominous things are.

The Atlanta Braves came into the regular season hoping to be World Series contenders as one of the best teams in the National League. However, Atlanta enters MLB games today well below the .500 mark with all eyes on the club more than a month out from the MLB trade deadline.

All signs point to the Atlanta Braves keeping the faith in their current staff and not sending any off to prepare for the future

The Atlanta Braves reportedly have a specific strategy in mind as it pertains to the upcoming MLB trade deadline.
