Match Preview
The New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers meet Wednesday afternoon at American Family Field. Milwaukee enters the matchup with the stronger overall record and will look to take advantage of playing at home.
The Brewers have established themselves as one of the more consistent teams in baseball this season. With Logan Henderson scheduled to start, Milwaukee should have a strong opportunity to control the game and secure another victory.
New York Mets Analysis
The Mets will send Christian Scott to the mound. Scott has pitched effectively this season and enters the matchup with a 3-1 record and a 2.87 ERA, giving New York a capable starter for this difficult road assignment.
New York’s larger concern has been producing consistent offence. The Mets will need to capitalize on their limited scoring opportunities because Henderson and the Milwaukee bullpen have the ability to keep opposing lineups under control.
Milwaukee Brewers Analysis
Logan Henderson is expected to start for Milwaukee. Henderson enters the matchup with a 3-1 record and a 2.97 ERA and has helped the Brewers win four of the five games he has started as a moneyline favourite.
Milwaukee also owns the deeper and more dependable lineup. The Brewers can manufacture runs throughout the order and should be able to create scoring opportunities against Scott as the game progresses.
Why We Like This Pick
Milwaukee’s superior record, home-field advantage, dependable lineup and strong results with Henderson starting make the Brewers the preferred side.
Final Prediction
Scott should keep the Mets competitive during the early innings, but Milwaukee’s lineup and bullpen should eventually become the difference. Look for Henderson to deliver another solid outing while the Brewers produce enough offence to secure the home victory.
Final Score Prediction: Brewers 5, Mets 2
