Milwaukee at New York

Milwaukee relied on pitching and defense last season, as the offense was 17th in runs scored and on-base percentage. They got strong pitching in the opener but had to use 5 relievers to hang on yesterday, 7-6. Now they have to go with a weak starter in Colin Rea, who had a 4.55 ERA in 2023. New York looks for its first win playing its third consecutive home contest. And the Mets are 39-14 revenging a loss to an opponent as a home favorite. Play New York.
