Braves vs Mets live stream: How to watch MLB Opening Day 2020 online
Do you have your Braves vs Mets live stream situation figured out?
Braves vs Mets begins shortly at 4:10 p.m. ET / 1:10 p.m. PT / 9:10 p.m. BST today (July 24).
Will today be a preview of the NL championship? Braves vs Mets live streams may tell the tale of which National League squad is most ready for this most peculiar 2020 MLB season.
Or at least that's what Mets fans are hoping for. Predictions seem to be pushing Atlanta to win the division over The Nationals, who are going to the bat tonight against the visiting Yankees. But if Mets ace Jacob deGrom manages to stay healthy, and puts in a strong performance in this opener, Mets fans may feel the optimism that so often evades them.

Those same Mets fans will likely be following deGrom's pitch count, as he's expected to go no higher than 85 throws due to some stiffness in his back found during the MLB's "Summer Camp" training weeks.
Other Mets stars who fans will be praying stay healthy include Yoenis Céspedes, fresh off a three-month shutdown that was done to prepare for this 60-game sprint of a season, and Dellin Betances, whose Achilles seems to be in good condition, following rehabilitation.
