Preview

The Mets are back in American Family Field to start a three-game road trip against the Brewers.  They've won a single game in their last 8 and are on a two-game losing streak.  There's an outside chance of playoff qualification, but even that hope is fading.  The Brewers have already clinched a playoff berth but are on a five-game losing streak themselves which includes being swept 4-0 by the Cardinals and averaged 2.5 runs per game in that series.  

Pitching matchup

Mets

Tylor Megill (3-5, 4.57 ERA) Rookie Tylor Megill will make his 17th start of the season.  He's 3-5 with a 4.57 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP in 2021.  He's 80.2 innings pitched and surrendered 82 hits for 41 ERs and had 22 walks with 91 strikeouts.  Megill has actually faced the Brewers earlier this season pitching 5 innings and gave up 2 hits for 1 ER with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts.

Brewers

Eric Lauer (6-5, 3.03 ERA) Eric Lauer is set to make his 19th start of the season for the Brewers.  Lauer now in his 4th season in the majors is a career 4.72 ERA pitcher averaging his 3.03 this season which is his best of all 4 seasons.  He has 107 innings pitched and has given up 85 hits for 36 ERs but does have 105 strikeouts compared to 37 walks.

Prediction

Neither club is in good form at the moment, but the Brewers are still one of the best teams in the league.  The Mets have been too inconsistent at batting so expect the Brewers to end their losing streak tonight.

PICK: Brewers -1.5 (+145)
