Game Context
The Mets are reeling from a four-game road skid and a 1–9 stretch over their last 10 games. Meanwhile, the Brewers are red-hot, riding a seven-game win streak and sitting atop the NL Central. Tonight marks the fifth meeting of the season between these clubs, with the series tied 2–2.
Pitching Matchup
| Team | Starting Pitcher | 2025 Stats |
|---|---|---|
| Mets | Frankie Montas (RHP) | 3–2, 6.68 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 33.2 IP |
| Brewers | Tobias Myers (RHP) | 1–1, 4.30 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, 23 IP |
Montas has struggled with command and run prevention, while Myers has bounced between the rotation and bullpen, rarely pitching deep into games.

- Brewers: Jackson Chourio, Jordan Montgomery, Rhys Hoskins, Garrett Mitchell among 10+ players on IL
- Mets: Jesse Winker, Tylor Megill, Jose Siri, A.J. Minter, and others sidelined
Final Take
The Brewers are surging and have the pitching depth to exploit a slumping Mets lineup. With Montas struggling and Myers likely on a pitch count, expect a bullpen-heavy game. Milwaukee’s offensive consistency and home-field advantage give them the edge in what could be a low-scoring affair.
