How to watch tonight’s Mets-Braves game for free on Apple TV+

The New York Mets will continue their streak of games against divisional rivals with a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves beginning tonight, Aug. 22.

The Mets just wrapped up a three-game series against the Nationals, which they had a chance to take in yesterday’s rubber game, but a blown lead led to a collapse and the Nationals won 9-3. Now, they’ll face off against NL East rivals in their next nine games: three against the Atlanta Braves, a three-game series with the Phillies, and a Labor Day weekend set against the Miami Marlins.

The Braves are currently 8-2 in their last 10, sitting 16 games back from division-leading Phillies. The Mets currently sit at a season-worst seven games back.
