Brewers vs Mets Prediction
I’m on the Brewers here. I get that the Mets are a solid team, and Manaea’s been really solid as of late. However, the Brewers are just rolling, Quinn Priester’s pitching really well in a lot of his recent starts, and you just simply have two teams headed in two different directions. I’m sure the Mets will snap out of it at some point, but I’m not buying it right here. Give me the Brewers.
