Mets vs Brewers Prediction
Walker is absolute money in day games this year. And while the Mets may be locked into the playoffs, they’re still seeking to stave off the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves for the NL East crown.
Milwaukee is 2-4 over the past six games and 9-10 SU in September. The Brewers have endured four separate multi-game losing skids since August 23.
Pick: New York Mets ML (-125)
