Some Bone-headed managing in 3 early games, using Pen's too early, and all 3 blown in the 8th with 2 outs, dont think that's happened on a Playoff day before.
Thursday's on Playoff game left- gotta go with Myers and Brew crew. He won 6-0 last game against Mets (Mets went 1-14 or .71 BA against him that game, and has been very strong all year and at hom; opponents hit just .213 against him at American Family Field, compared to .271 on the road. Quintana was on the losing end of that 6-0. He's lost 3 straight vs the Brewers, with 2 coming this year. Momentum means a lot especially at home in the playoffs. Brewers should feel confident with the comeback 8th inning win.
Brewers also have the much better pen with a collective 3.11 ERA, While Mets are almost a full point higher at 4.05 ERA. The New York pitching staff had a 3.96 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, and a .230 opponent batting average this year While the Brewers pitching staff posted a 3.65 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP, and a .237 opponent batting average during the regular season. Brewers did use some of their big arms Wed with Ross (12 pitches), Williams (10 pitches), and Koenig (7), so these guys didnt get too taxed, while Payamps threw 17. Mets used Megill for 22 pitches, Maton for 20 (he gave up the homer to tie and the game winner), Garrett for 12 and Stanek for 11.
Offensively, Brewers have the edge too-as their offense scored 777 runs with a .248 batting average and a .326 on base percentage this year, contrast that to the Mutts offense which scored 768 runs with a .246 batting average and a .319 on base percentage during the regular season.
Bullpens have been utilized early in both games by both squads, so expect some runs once they get involved again, both games have gone over. In fact, Each of the Mets' last four playoff games as road underdogs have gone OVER the total , Four of the Brewers last 5 playoff games have gone over, and 4 of Milwaukee's last 6 at home have gone over.
️Brewers-110
️Brewers/Mutts Over 7.5-105
Brewers Team Total Over 3.5-125
Brewers-115 (F5)
