The New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers meet Tuesday in MLB action at American Family Field. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The New York Mets have scored 11 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 3 of their first 5 games. The Mets are 3-0 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Starling Marte leads the Mets with 5 hits and 1 RBI, while Tommy Pham and Jeff McNeil have combined for 8 hits and 5 RBI. Max Scherzer gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA and 6 strikeouts this season. Corbin is 3-3 with a 2.14 ERA and 86 strikeouts in his career against the Brewers.
The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 22 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 2 of their first 4 games. The Brewers have won 8 straight games when scoring 4 or more runs. Brice Turang leads the Brewers with 5 hits and 5 RBI, while Brian Anderson and Jesse Winker have combined for 9 hits and 9 RBI. Wade Miley gets the ball, and he was 2-2 with a 3.16 ERA and 28 strikeouts last season. Miley is 1-1 with a 3.72 ERA and 30 strikeouts in his career against the Mets.
The Mets are 5-11 in their last 16 Tuesday games and 7-3 in their last 10 overall. The Brewers are 2-5 in their last 7 Tuesday games and 5-2 in their last 7 overall. The over is 16-6-1 in Mets last 23 overall. The under is 10-3-1 in Brewers last 14 overall. The Mets are 7-19 in the last 26 meetings in Milwaukee and 7-15 in the last 22 meetings.
We’re getting Max Scherzer at a reasonable price, and he was solid in his season opener outside of one mistake. Wade Miley pitched in just 9 games last year, and it’s hard to back him until he proves again he’s capable of being a quality back of the rotation guy. You can argue the Mets should be bigger favorites with an ace on the hill. Give me the Mets.
