New York Mets Analysis

The New York Mets are looking to bounce back from a disappointing season, where they were unable to find consistency despite winning 100 games in 2022. They have a owner willing to spend and made some big moves in the offseason, including signing veteran JD Martinez. With solid veterans like Nimmo, Marte, and Lindor, as well as the addition of Harrison Bader, the Mets could be a wildcard team if they stay healthy. Jose Quintana will be on the mound, coming off a season with solid numbers despite injuries. Pete Alonso is expected to have another strong season after hitting 46 home runs last year. The Mets offense ranked 20th in scoring in 2022, while their pitching was 19th in ERA. The Mets have a power ranking of 7 and have had success against the Brewers in the past. In their last three matchups, Milwaukee went 1-2 against New York.

Freddy Peralta and Milwaukee Brewers Poised for Season Opener Victory Against New York Mets

The Milwaukee Brewers are positioned favorably in the upcoming season opener with Freddy Peralta slated to take the mound. Peralta has demonstrated his ability to effectively contain the Mets throughout his career, allowing only four runs in 11.1 innings. Notably, key Mets batters Lindor, Marte, and Alonso have a combined 1 for 18 record against Peralta. Additionally, the Brewers offense displayed strong performance against left-handed pitchers last season, boasting a .730 OPS. On the other hand, Mets' starter Jose Quintana, at 35 years old, lacks velocity and strikeouts. The Brewers have historically dominated the Mets, holding a 6-1 record in their previous seven matchups. Quintana has shown a tendency for slower starts, evidenced by a career 4.42 ERA in March/April, and struggled during spring training, yielding 14 runs (11 earned) in 16 innings.
