Quick Notes for this Upcoming Braves Series

Tomorrow I will do a formal preview for the first game of the series but there are a few notes and things to look out for in during the next four games:
    1) Oliver Perez looks to become the fourth member of the pitching staff to go into double digit wins tomorrow. (Santana 11 wins,        Maine 10 wins, Pelfrey 11 wins).
    2) MLB.com in their probable pitcher reports point out that he has a real test against the Braves because he has won 9 of his last 13 starts (the Mets have won a total of 11 of those 13) but his ERA against the Braves this year has been above 10. This is not the same Braves team as before. They should be easier now, so it will be interesting to see how Pelfrey responds
    3) Wright is sitting at 95 RBI's, its unlikely that he will break 100 this series, but it is possible
    4) How the Rookies play. Murphy is hitting .429, A Reyes is hitting .275, Evans is hitting .260. Evans struggled when he first came up, and now he is doing better (looking nice with those two doubles today). Reyes is hitting solidly. Murphy continues to look like amazing. Lets see if they can keep this up.
Those are the main things I am looking for during this series, and as the game previews start to roll out, you'll hear more of the specifics for certain players.
