Mets vs Brewers Prediction
Thornton has actually been solid for the Mets through 50.1 innings, but I haven’t been in the business of backing this team all season. They don’t turn a profit, and they’re an underachiever. The Brewers are one of the most consistent teams in baseball, and Harrison has been impressive with a 2.84 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 98.1 innings. The price isn’t too crazy. Give me the Brewers.
