MILWAUKEE BREWERS VS. NEW YORK METS PREDICTION
Milwaukee comes into this season with tons of questions.
The Brewers saw their head coach, Craig Counsell, depart for a division rival (Chicago Cubs).
Milwaukee also lost their ace Corbin Burnes as the team traded him to Baltimore.
This franchise has enjoyed lots of regular-season success over the last decade.
Since 2018, the Brew Crew have won the Central three times.
That is more than anyone in the division.
Milwaukee enters the season with the fourth-best odds of winning the Central.
Catcher William Contreras led the squad last season with a batting average of .291. The team will rely heavily on Contreras this season.
Former all-star Christian Yelich had a solid season with 153 hits and a team-best 106 runs scored.
Shortstop Willy Adames was the squad's best power source, blasting 24 home runs.
The most notable addition of the off-season for the Brewers is former Phillie Rhys Hoskins.
Milwaukee will hand the ball to veteran Freddy Peralta.
New York begins the season with high expectations.
Playing in the Big Apple, there are always expectations, but after a disappointing 2023 season, a bounce back is vital for the Mets.
The Mets put up a record of 75-87.
There were few teams more disappointing than the Mets.
New York has the third-best odds of winning the NL East, a division that the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies headline.
The Mets did a lot of work to their bullpen, adding Jake Diekman and Jorge Lopez.
New York will have a similar lineup to what we saw a season ago.
They added a couple of utility players in Harrison Bader, Joey Wendle, and Tyrone Taylor.
All-star shortstop Francisco Lindor led the team last year with 108 runs scored and 153 hits, which ranked third on the Mets.
Center fielder Brandon Nimmo was solid with a team-best .274 batting average.
First baseman Pete Alonso remains the Mets top power bat-hitting 46 home runs.
MILWAUKEE BREWERS VS. NEW YORK METS PICK
I am higher than most on the Mets entering the season.
On paper, this is an above-average offense that can compete and score runs.
They got better in the off-season on defense, picking up Bader in the outfield.
Quintana has great numbers against the Brewers lineup, except for Contreras and Adames.
Let’s stay hot and cash in!
