I would have been satisfied with a split vs. the Braves but after you win the first two games, you get a bit greedier. You don't expect a sweep. So, one loss is okay. Today still favors the Braves. SD breathing down the Mets necks and the Orioles struggling doesn't help.
Megill's overall line is so-so, but they tried to stretch him to the 7th in large part because of the current bullpen situation. If he went six and gave up three runs vs. the Braves, it would have been fine.
The Mets scored nothing, so it didn't really matter. If he pitched like he did yesterday, he could provide a useful piece. But, surely, they should get another starter especially with concerns of Severino's innings and how they currently have a bunch of starters who often go around five innings.
Love the analysis on the pitchers

Don’t trust Megill.
Fair. I see him as the sixth pitcher in a six-man rotation.
