Why the Mets are such heavy favorites to win NL East over Braves

The New York Mets are one game ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the National League East race. The Mets have a one-game lead in betting markets. The Braves are only one of two teams that are in contention for the NL East title.

Mets are heavy favorites to win NL East over Braves. New tiebreaker rules for the playoffs are based on the performance over the 162 regular-season games. The first tiebreaking factor is head-to-head record. With just a three-game series remaining this season, the Mets hold a 9-7 record over Atlanta. If they win just one game in that series, they would own the head to head tie breaker and would end the season as NLEast champions.
