Young Talents Open Mets Series

Written by Jonathan on April 25, 2008 – 7:10 pm

Jair Jurrjens (2-2, 3.20) faces off against Mike Pelfrey (2-0, 3.18) tonight in the first game of a three-game series against the division rival Mets.  This is the first trip to Shea Stadium for the Braves this season and they’re looking to get above .500 with a win tonight (11-11 right now).  The Mets are 11-10, half a game ahead of the Braves right now.

The key for the Braves in this series is the offense.  With Jurrjens, Hudson and Smoltz on the mound, we should be able to rely on some solid starts from our pitching staff.  It will come down to the offense getting on the board early and the clutch hits when we have scoring opportunities.  With those, we have a great shot at taking a series win.
