Milwaukee Brewers @ New York Mets - July 2, 2025

Alright folks, it’s time for some serious baseball talk as the Milwaukee Brewers roll into Citi Field to face off against our New York Mets. As a die-hard Mets fan, I can’t help but feel that tonight is the night we turn things around after those rough patches.

Let’s break down the pitching match-up first. On the mound for us will be our right-handed ace who has an 8-4 record and a solid ERA just under 3.6. He’s been known to strike out batters with precision—averaging over 8 strikeouts per game! But let’s not kid ourselves; he’ll need to find that groove early on against a Brewers lineup that isn’t easy to handle. They’re bringing their own pitcher, who also boasts an 8-4 record but has a slightly higher ERA than ours at just below 3.9. This means both pitchers are pretty evenly matched, but I have faith in our guy to pull through when it matters.

Now, shifting gears to how each team has been faring recently: The Brewers had a tough loss in their last outing against the Rockies, falling short in a close one at 4-3. Meanwhile, our beloved Mets suffered a disheartening defeat against the Pirates where they got absolutely crushed by a score of 12-1—yikes! That’s gotta sting! We’re on a three-game losing streak here at home, and I know my fellow fans can feel that frustration brewing (pun intended).

Looking at offense stats this season paints quite an interesting picture too. The Brewers are averaging about 4.7 runs per game while we’re clocking in around 4.3 runs—definitely not what we want to see as fans who bleed blue and orange! However, what stands out is our team’s ability to hit with an average of over .240 and get on base more frequently than Milwaukee does (72% vs 68%). If we can capitalize on getting runners into scoring position tonight without leaving them stranded like we’ve seen so often lately, we could definitely come out on top.

That brings us to predictions for this matchup: I’m feeling optimistic! I predict that despite recent woes, we’ll rally together and grab the win today—home field advantage should give us that extra boost! And given how both offenses have performed lately, I’m leaning towards taking the Over for this game because I think it’s going to be high-scoring.

So let’s gear up and put on those lucky jerseys because there is nothing like game day energy at Citi Field! Let’s go Mets! It’s time to snap this streak and remind everyone why they love baseball in New York!
