New York vs Milwaukee Stats

New York Mets

The New York Mets seemed to be gaining momentum with a postseason berth and a strong victory over Milwaukee, but they faced a setback with a 5-3 loss in Wednesday's game. Despite a 3-2 lead going into the 8th inning, reliever Phil Maton struggled, giving up three earned runs and taking the loss. On offense, the Mets had a strong performance with eight hits, including contributions from Starling Marte, Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo, and Francisco Alvarez. Jose Quintana is rumored to start game three against Milwaukee after a recent loss to the Brewers. In terms of power rankings, the Mets are ranked 10 with 7th in offense and 16th in defense, finishing the season with a record of 90-74.

Milwaukee Brewers Analysis

Manager Pat Murphy and his Brewers faced a tough situation entering Wednesday's wild-card game, trailing 1-0 in the series. Despite falling behind 3-1 early on, Milwaukee staged a late rally with Jackson Chourio and Garrett Mitchell hitting key home runs in the 8th inning to take the lead. Devin Williams secured the victory with a three-up, three-down performance in the 9th inning. Joe Ross earned the win in relief. Tobias Myers will start in game three, coming off a successful season where he posted a 3.00 ERA in 27 appearances. Milwaukee ranks 6th in both offense and defense and holds a 94-70 overall record. In their last three meetings, the Brewers have won four out of five against the New York team.

Brewers vs. Mets: Quintana vs. Myers Pitching Matchup Highly Anticipated with Outcome Hanging in the Balance

The upcoming game between Jose Quintana and Tobias Myers is highly anticipated, as it will likely have a significant impact on the outcome. Notably, this pitching matchup occurred last Saturday, resulting in a 6-0 victory for the Brewers. Based on this recent success, I am inclined to support the Brewers in this game as well. While Quintana showed promise in his previous outing, his historical performance against Milwaukee leaves much to be desired, with their current roster boasting a strong batting record against him. In contrast, Myers demonstrated remarkable skill in his recent game against New York. Considering these factors, I believe the Brewers have a strong chance of winning this game and securing a spot in the NLDS, particularly given their winning record against New York in 2024.
