Milwaukee Brewers vs New York Mets Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/8/25, 4:26 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/8/25 at 10:40 PM in MLB Picks

The Brewers aren't among the top five MLB betting favorites to win this World Series, but they have by far the best record in MLB at 70-44 and broke the franchise record for most wins in a 60-game span. The Brewers begin a new weekend series against the Mets on Friday, after losing the series in Queens to the Mets in early August, and the Brewers-Mets game has the scent of a postseason game.

The Mets arrive at American Family Field having lost their last four games; they were swept at Citi Field, dominated by the Guardians' pitching, which Gavin Williams, through, gave the Mets a no-hitter that lasted until the 9th inning before Soto hit a solo home run, the Mets' only hit on Wednesday in a troubling performance.

The Mets have lost their last four games as a -140 favorite or at shorter odds; at least on Friday, Senga, a Japanese pitcher with whom the Mets have had good luck last month, will start. The Mets have won each of Senga's last five starts.
