Mets at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Mets 5, Brewers 4
Money line
The Brewers are a lean in some facets of this match-up, but Houser has been too iffy of late. Milwaukee may be worth a look on the Run Line, but even then, the better play here is the total.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
Milwaukee has played well at home and its bullpen is in better shape than New York’s in the back end.
PASS on the current tag, but consider a line watch: Milwaukee +1.5 would have some value priced at -140 or better.
Over/Under
There is some fade lean to both sides of the starting pitching matchup, and the offenses favor the righty-righty matchup.
BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-120).
