The Mets will try to get back on track tonight at Citi Field as they open a three-game series against the visiting Brewers. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. EST.

New York (48–37) was swept for the third time in five series over the weekend in Pittsburgh, losing by a combined score of 30–4. Despite the skid, the Mets remain just two games behind the Phillies in the NL East and are 29–12 at home this season.

Right-hander Clay Holmes (8–4, 2.97 ERA) gets the start for the Mets, coming off a one-run performance in his last time out. He'll face Brewers ace Freddy Peralta (8–4, 2.90), who's struck out 98 batters in 93 innings and owns a 1.13 WHIP.

Milwaukee (47–37) is coming off an extra-innings loss to the Rockies on Sunday but has won five of its last seven. The Brewers sit two games behind the Cubs in the NL Central.

Pete Alonso (.291 AVG, 18 HR, 65 RBI) and Juan Soto (20 HR) continue to anchor the Mets' offense, while Christian Yelich (16 HR, 60 RBI) and Sal Frelick (.300 AVG) lead the way for Milwaukee.

Brewers vs Mets Predictions and Picks

"Freddy Peralta has been dominant against the Mets in past meetings, and he enters this matchup backed by a red-hot offense averaging an MLB-best 6.5 runs per game over the last 15 contests. Meanwhile, the Mets have averaged just 2.9 runs per game during that same span and are coming off a demoralizing sweep at the hands of the Pirates .... Milwaukee's bats are clicking, their bullpen is in better form, and Peralta's confidence is sky-high against this Mets squad. With all of that considered, how can you not love the dog here? The Brewers are the clear value side." — David Delano, Winners and Whiners

"New York stumbles into this series after a very embarrassing effort against the Pirates over the weekend, but they will look to bounce back at home here. The Brewers are 20-20 on the road this year, while the Mets are 29-12 at home. Milwaukee has won eight of their last ten games .... The Mets are obviously in a tough spot right now, but they have played well at home, and I think they will show some pride here. Take the Mets to win." — David Racey, Sports Chat Place

"Peralta's sharp control and past dominance over the Mets suggest slight advantage. Holmes is making strides as a starter and matching Peralta in ERA, so expect a pitcher's duel .... The Brewers are 7-3 in their last 10 games against the Mets and are red-hot. Overall, Milwaukee has been the better team of late and we're getting plus odds with the Brew Crew. Let's roll with the underdog." — Anthony Rome, The Spread
