What a Start for the Brewers
It has to feel good for the Brewers going on the road and winning their first two games of the season. In Game 1 it was the pitching that led to success and in Game 2 it was the offense that was the difference. On Saturday the Brewers were led by Rhys Hoskins who finished with three hits, two runs, four RBIs, and one home run. Getting the start for the Brewers will be Colin Rea who the team hopes will have a big season. Last season, he finished with a 6-6 record and an ERA of 4.55.
Mets Need to Figure it Out Quickly
Being in New York, there is always extra pressure, and it’s no different this season. The Mets have lost the first two games, and they couldn’t quite make the comeback. Francisco Alvarez did have a strong game, putting up three hits, two RBIs, and two runs. Luis Severino gave up 12 hits, and they are going to need a lot better pitching here. If the pitching is bad, this will be a long game. Getting the start for the Mets will be Tylor Megill and last season he finished with a 9-8 record and an ERA of 4.70.

Brewers vs Mets Betting Prediction
The Mets have to get their first win of the season at some point, but it’s not going to be in this game. The Brewers send Rea to the mound and I trust him to have a big game here. The Mets are going to get another bad start from Tylor Megill and that is going to be the difference here. The Brewers are going to run up the score here, and they will cruise to the win. Back the Brewers on the money line. After this series, the Brewers will clash with the Twins, while the Mets will play the Tigers.
