The Mets will play a final game of their weekend series in Milwaukee with a game that features a total of 8 (down from 8.5). Half of the last ten meetings between these two clubs have gone Under this total. Five of the last seven games played in Milwaukee have resulted in eight or fewer runs.
PITCHING PROBABLES: Mets: Sean Manaea (1-1, 3.52 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 25 strikeouts); Brewers: Quinn Priester (11-2, 3.15 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 93 strikeouts)
From ESPN:
Sean Manaea is Sunday's top ranked streamer, but he's more of a safe play than an option to make up a lot of ground when the New York Mets challenge the Milwaukee Brewers in American Family Field. Manaea limits walks and homers but doesn't pile up strikeouts. The Brewers don't rely on the long ball, but they don't strikeout out much versus left-handers. The outcome is likely going to be low scoring, but without the points juice provided by a bunch of punch outs.
Manaea allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Guardians on Monday. He did not factor into his prior start either.
Priester limited the Braves to one run and two hits over seven innings in his 10th straight victory Monday and is looking for his 6th straight win.
TOP PERFORMERS: Sal Frelick leads the Brewers with a .292 batting average, and has 12 doubles, three triples, eight home runs, 28 walks and 42 RBI. He is 1-for-4 vs. Manaea.
Andrew Vaughn is 15 for 41 with three home runs and 13 RBI over the past 10 games. He is 1-for-6 versus Manaea.
Juan Soto has 16 doubles and 28 home runs for the Mets. Jeff McNeil is 10 for 38 with two doubles over the past 10 games.
LAST 10 GAMES: Brewers: 9-1, .306 batting average, 4.00 ERA, outscored opponents by 35 runs
Mets: 1-9, .191 batting average, 5.01 ERA, outscored by 23 runs
