The New York Mets begin the new season on the road, as they travel to the ATL against their division rivals that they faced to begin last season's Opening Day, the Atlanta Braves, which will be their 7th encounter.

The problem with the Braves-Mets rivalry is that over the years, it seems both clubs are always on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of contention. When Atlanta’s up, New York seems to be down… and vice-versa.

Over the last three seasons (2018-20), immediately following the Braves painful rebuild, Atlanta has won the division all three years and has combined for 222 wins. Meanwhile, the Mets have finished no better than third place in the NL East while tallying 189 wins during that stretch. And it’s certainly impacted the rivalry as Atlanta has gone 31-17 versus New York since 2018, which followed a 34-42 mark against the Mets from 2014-17 — a four-year span that featured a first-place and 90-win New York team that lost in the World Series in 2015 and a second-place and 87-win Mets club during the 2016 campaign.
