Game 157: Mets 3, Braves 1--magic number now 2!

If a pitcher gets a lot of WPA early, you know it's not good. Tonight, E-Jax gets pretty much all the WPA in the first 1.1 innings....

• That got out of hand fast: Edwin Jackson (-50.9%) only gets four outs, walking four, striking out none, and giving up 9 runs.
• One more to 100: Adam LaRoche (+8.7%) singles in a run in the first for a not-terribly-robust early lead (+9.4%).
• Least significant bits: Roger Bernadina (-0.1%) hits a line-drive solo shot in the 7th to no particular WPA (+0.2%). Michael Gonzalez (-0.1%) gives up 3 runs in the 8th and barely moves the WPA needle.
