Brewers vs Mets Betting Pick
This game will be played at Citi Field at 7:10 PM ET on Thursday, June 16, 2022.
Why Bet The Mets:
✅ Aaron Ashby has struggled a lot over his previous two starts. After allowing four earned runs across six innings of work in a 4-0 defeat to the San Diego Padres on June 4, the 24-year-old left-hander gave up six earned runs on a thumping 13 hits through just 4.2 frames in a heavy 11-5 loss at the Washington Nationals on June 10.
✅ The Brewers’ offense has been a disaster over the last couple of weeks. Milwaukee has scored only 32 runs in its previous 12 outings while slashing a miserable .210/.271/.328. On the other side, the Mets have accounted for 54 runs in their last 12 contests, posting a .251/.320/.387 slash line.
