Brewers vs Mets Prediction

The current betting odds have the Brewers listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Brewers haven't been great over the last few weeks but they are still just in 2nd place of their division trying to chase down the Reds and they were a lot better in their last series. Now that they are gaining some momentum they will be looking to go on a bit of a run here and will try to take advantage of this series against a struggling Mets team. The Mets were one of the teams favored to win their division at the beginning of the season but they haven't been good at all this season with a losing record overall and a really bad offense too. Their pitching hasn't been great in their games lately either and they are really desperate here as they are going with Peterson on the mound. Peterson gave up 6 runs in his last start and that has been a common theme for him all season as he has been giving up a ton of runs in almost every start. The Brewers don't have a great offense this season but they were playing a lot better in their series over the weekend and will be able to edge out a Mets offense that hasn't been putting up a ton of runs in games either. The Brewers also have Teheran starting here and he hasn't been giving up many runs in his starts this season. The team hasn't had a lot of success with him starting lately but the Brewers have also been slumping and now that they are starting to turn things around, they will be able to edge out the Mets here with an offense that has been a lot better lately and pitching that has also been a lot better. The best way to place a bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.
