Brewers vs Mets Prediction

The current betting odds have the Mets listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mets haven't been having a good season with their losing record overall but they have been a lot better in their home games and desperately need to turn things around in this series. Their offense hasn't been good all season but it has been getting better over the last week as they have been putting up more runs in their games lately and they are also catching a break here with the Brewers since they have one of the worst offenses in the MLB this year. The Brewers are fighting for 1st place in the NL Central right now too but they are barely over .500 this season and really haven't been that great in their games lately. They have been pitching well in their games lately and have a solid starter here with Miley on the mound, but Miley has also been battling injuries over the last few weeks and as good as he has been pitching lately, he could collapse at any time with that injury still bothering him. The Mets are starting Senga in this game and he has been really up and down in his starts this year as he is still in his rookie season but he has also been a lot better in his home starts and will have no problem trying to shut down a cold Brewers offense that hasn't been good all season. The Mets desperately need to win this series and will fight hard at home to try and turn things around. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mets to win this game.

“It’s always about now and the heck with what happened last year or or last week or tonight. You’ve got to get it fixed.” - Buck Showalter on his team’s struggles this season after their loss against the Brewers in their game on Monday.
