Trends
New York is 9-3 in their last 12 Monday games and 20-8 in their last 28 games against the NL Central. The over is 7-1 in New York’s last 8 game one’s of a series. Milwaukee is 4-1 in their last 5 Monday games and 2-5 in their last 7 games following a win. The under is 8-1-1 in Milwaukee’s last 10 home games. New York is 3-15 in these two teams last 18 head to head meetings in Milwaukee.
Pick
Both of these teams won their first series of the season, but New York did play an extra game. New York pitched very well against Miami, only allowing eight runs in four games. Milwaukee got shut out in their home opener, but they bounced back with wins of 3-1 and 9-5. Both of these starting pitchers had pretty good seasons last year, but I have to give the edge to New York in this game. The Mets have the better lineup and I think Carrasco will start the year strong. Take New York here.
