Milwaukee Brewers vs NY Mets Prediction
The NY Mets haven’t played since Tuesday, and while that could throw off their rhythm, it also gives guys a chance to catch their breath in a playoff race. It also leads to rested arms where the Mets can really go for it. Sean Manaea has been money these last two months, and the Mets have won each of his last 8 starts. Frankie Montas has been a lot more hittable, and playing at home hasn’t helped much. I have to lean toward the rested Mets on Friday night.
