Milwaukee Brewers vs New York Mets Prediction
I’m not running to the window to lay this price with May on the mound, who wasn’t good with the Cardinals and has allowed 14 hits and 10 runs in 15 innings with the Brewers. This is simply the Brewers being the better team and chasing a division title. The Mets haven’t been able to string wins together, and let’s not act like Stock has been any better this season. Through 16.2 innings, Stock has allowed 17 hits and 10 earned runs while walking 11. I’ll side with the Brewers and will lay the RL to shave down the price.
