A clash of National League East rivals is in the offing tonight at Citi Field, where Pete Alonso and the New York Mets hope to get a leg up on Ronald Acuna Jr. and the Atlanta Braves in the rubber game of a three-game set. The Mets are hoping the young bats that blossomed last year can remain productive in 2020 while the Braves will need everyone to step up with All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman on the shelf after testing positive for COVID-19.
