The Milwaukee Brewers (34-29) meet the New York Mets (41-22) Wednesday for the 2nd of their 3-game set at Citi Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Mets odds with MLB picks and predictions.
N.Y. won the series opener, 4-0, Tuesday thanks to a dominant outing from Mets SP Chris Bassitt, who went 8-scoreless innings, allowing just 3 hits and 1 walk with 7 strikeouts. Mets 1B Pete Alonso powered the offense with a 2-for-3 and 2-RBI night.
Tuesday’s Brewers-Mets meeting was the 1st of the year.

Brewers at Mets picks and predictions
Prediction
Mets 5, Brewers 3
Money line
LEAN METS (+110).
The Brewers (-135) are overpriced because the reigning National League Cy Young winner is on the mound. But, N.Y.’s lineup is so much better vs. right-handed pitching than Milwaukee’s against lefties.
The Brew Crew is 9-13 overall against lefty starters, and their lineup ranks 27th in wRC+ (85), 24th in wOBA (.292) and 22nd in BB/K rate (0.37), per FanGraphs. The Mets are 29-12 vs. righty starters with a 120 wRC+ (tied for 1st), .333 wOBA (2nd) and 0.41 BB/K rate (8th) vs. right-handed pitching.
It’s only a LEAN to the METS (+110) because N.Y.’s RL is a sharper wager.

Run line/Against the spread
RISK 1 unit on the METS +1.5 (-155) instead of betting to win 1 unit.
Not only do the Mets have a massive edge in the hitting department, but N.Y.’s bullpen is as strong as Milwaukee’s. Also, the Brewers -1.5 (+125) are just 8-19 RL as road favorites while the Mets are 11-6 RL as underdogs.
If your standard unit is $100 then “flat-BET” that on the METS +1.5 (-155) to earn a $64.52 profit.
Over/Under
Slight LEAN to the OVER 7.5 (-120).
The Mets are 10-5-2 O/U as underdogs and 5-1 O/U in Peterson’s 6 starts and the Brewers are 14-11-2 O/U as road favorites.
But, Milwaukee’s lineup cannot hit left-handed pitching, and the Under has cashed in 4 straight Brewers-Mets games in N.Y.
