Spread: NY Mets -1.5 (+139)
Milwaukee Brewers Preview
The Brewers send José Quintana to the mound, a familiar face for Mets fans. The left-hander spent the last two seasons in New York and returns with a 6-2 record and a 3.30 ERA. While he started the season hot, giving up just three total runs across his first four outings, things cooled off after a shoulder issue forced him to miss time. He’s now back in rhythm, logging two straight wins despite some rough patches.
Offensively, Milwaukee made noise early in Wednesday’s doubleheader with Joey Ortiz’s grand slam leading the charge in Game 1. Brice Turang extended his hit streak to 14 games in that contest but cooled off in the nightcap. Still, this lineup has shown they can strike quickly and capitalize on mistakes. However, their recent inconsistency leaves some question marks heading into the rubber match.
New York Mets Preview
The Mets finally showed signs of life, snapping a four-game losing streak with a 7-3 win in Game 2 behind a lineup shakeup. Brandon Nimmo was bumped up to the leadoff spot and responded with a grand slam. Francisco Lindor, breaking out of a cold spell, followed with a homer and finished the night with three RBIs. Together, they drove in all seven of New York’s runs.
David Peterson gets the ball for the series finale, sporting a 5-4 record and 3.30 ERA. He’s been shaky of late, allowing five runs in each of his last two starts, but has fared decently against Milwaukee in his career with a 2-1 record and a 4.15 ERA in five appearances.
Prediction & Betting Picks
The Mets’ bats finally woke up, and with Peterson familiar with Milwaukee’s lineup and Quintana trending toward regression, New York has the edge. The Brewers’ road inconsistency and bullpen questions also tilt the matchup in favor of the home team.
