Mets Favored in Wednesday's Showdown with Brewers After Strong Performance

Wednesday's game is considered a toss-up by oddsmakers, with New York priced at -108 on the moneyline and Milwaukee at -106. Despite New York's momentum from their 8-4 win on Tuesday, Milwaukee holds a 5-2 head-to-head advantage in the overall season series. At this time, the favor leans towards New York due to their recent strong performance and experience with high-pressure situations.
