Milwaukee hosts New York in a clash where Milwaukee’s surge meets New York’s downturn. Brewers sit atop MLB with a 71-44 run, boasting a deep lineup and a bullpen that’s tightened since the trade deadline. The Mets have gone 18-29 since June 13, scoring just 178 runs and slugging at a league-worst clip. The recommended play on the slate is Brewers ML (-130) with a risk-averse path of early offense and a faded Mets bullpen, aiming for a Milwaukee win and a late-inning edge.

In the nightcap, Philadelphia visits Texas in a pair that features volatility on the mound. Luzardo’s inconsistent run support clashes with deGrom’s vintage skill, pushing the total over 7.5. The Mets’ hitters are scuffling outside Starling Marte’s recent power, while Milwaukee’s lineup continues to click with multiple players contributing. The picks lean Brewers early, Mets late, and a high-scoring rubric when Philadelphia and Texas square off, with a focus on sharp bullpen usage and the potential for a high-scoring finish in the Rangers-Phillies tilt.
