Milwaukee Brewers vs NY Mets Prediction
I’m on the Brewers here. I gave the Mets the benefit of the doubt with Sean Manaea pitching on Friday as he had been red hot for the Mets, but New York blew it and I’m starting to feel like my suspicions may come to fruition where I think the Mets could miss out and the Braves could clinch with a doubleheader sweep on Monday. Look for the Mets to throw away another opportunity here and for the Brewers to cash in in this one.
