Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 14 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 9 games. The Brewers have won 6 straight games when scoring 4 or more runs. Christian Yelich leads the Brewers with 74 hits and 34 RBI, while Owen Miller and Brian Anderson have combined for 111 hits and 55 RBI. Colin Rea gets the ball, and he is 3-4 with a 4.88 ERA and 54 strikeouts this season. This will be Rea’s second career game against the Mets.

The New York Mets have scored 11 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 7 games. The Mets have split their last 10 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Brandon Nimmo leads the Mets with 83 hits and 35 RBI, while Jeff McNeil and Starling Marte have combined for 138 hits and 45 RBI. Justin Verlander gets the ball, and he is 2-4 with a 4.50 ERA and 44 strikeouts this season. Verlander is 2-0 with a 1.90 ERA and 35 strikeouts in his career against the Brewers.
Trends
The Brewers are 0-4 in their last 4 Monday games and 1-4 in their last 5 road games. The Mets are 2-6 in their last 8 home games and 5-14 in their last 19 overall. The under is 7-3-1 in Brewers last 11 road games. The under is 8-3-1 in Mets last 12 home games. The Brewers are 2-5 in the last 7 meetings in New York and 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
Randy’s Pick
The New York Mets are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and Justin Verlander is on the mound. Colin Rea has also been hittable all season. With all that said, Verlander hasn’t quite been himself this season and the Mets have been the biggest underachiever all year with bizarre loss after bizarre loss. I’m taking a shot with the Brewers and big plus money over laying juice with the Mets.
