New York Mets vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction and Picks, August 26, 2026

The New York Mets have been playing pretty well lately, winning 6 out of their last 10 games. They've been hitting decently against left-handed pitchers, putting up numbers similar to what most teams manage. Plus, they've scored about 0.3 runs more than their opponents on average in their last 12 games. On the other hand, the Milwaukee Brewers have also found success, winning 7 of their last 10. Their hitting against lefties has been almost the same as the Mets'. This matchup is close, but the Mets are at home, and they have a solid chance to pull off the win. Just keep in mind that both teams are strong contenders right now.

New York Mets vs Milwaukee Brewers: New York Mets 1 Spread (-101)

The New York Mets have been looking solid, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They've been decent against left-handed pitchers, hitting just about as well as the league average. Plus, they're scoring around 0.3 more runs per game lately, which shows they're finding ways to win. On the other hand, the Milwaukee Brewers have also been strong, winning 7 of their last 10 and scoring 1.8 more runs per game in that stretch. This matchup is really tight, with both teams hitting similarly against lefties and the projected final score being very close. The biggest risk here is how evenly matched these teams are, so it could go either way.

New York Mets vs Milwaukee Brewers: Under 7 Total Runs (+148)

For this bet to pay off, both teams need to score fewer than 7 runs tonight. The Mets and the Brewers have been pretty even lately, but they also face each other with solid pitching. The Mets have managed to score about 0.3 runs more than their opponents in recent games, while the Brewers have been doing even better at 1.8 runs ahead. Both teams hit similarly against left-handed pitchers, so this matchup should be tight. A major concern is that our numbers suggest they might combine for just under 8 runs. With both teams hitting well enough but not overpoweringly, it's possible they'll keep the score low.

New York Mets vs Milwaukee Brewers: Brice Turang Under 1.5 Batter - Total Bases (-156)

Betting on Brice Turang to get under 1.5 total bases seems like a solid choice. He hasn't been consistent lately, with his recent games showing he rarely gets more than one hit. In fact, he's recorded zero or just one total base in most of his last ten games. The Mets have also been pretty good against left-handed pitchers, which makes it tough for Turang to find his rhythm. Even though both teams are playing well, Turang's recent numbers suggest there's a real chance he might struggle today.

New York Mets vs Milwaukee Brewers: Francisco Lindor Under 1.5 Batter - Total Bases (-172)

Francisco Lindor hasn't gotten a hit in his last three games, which makes this bet feel even more solid. The Mets are facing the Brewers, who have been on a roll lately, winning seven of their last ten games. While both teams hit similarly against left-handed pitchers, Lindor's current slump adds a layer of concern. The wind is blowing out toward the outfield at Citi Field tonight, which usually helps hitters. However, with Lindor struggling to find his swing, betting on him to get under 1.5 total bases seems like a good call. Just keep in mind, he could break out at any moment, but right now, the odds are leaning toward him continuing his dry spell.

New York Mets vs Milwaukee Brewers: Bo Bichette Under 1.5 Batter - Total Bases (-175)

That's a big reason to think he might not reach 1.5 total bases against the New York Mets. The Mets have been solid at home, winning 6 of their last 10 games and scoring more runs than usual. On top of that, Bo is facing a tough matchup against a Mets team that is good against left-handed pitchers. With the wind blowing out toward the outfield, hitters usually have a bit of an advantage, but it's important to note that Bichette has been averaging about 0.7 strikeouts per game over his last few outings. This all adds up to a good chance that he'll stay under 1.5 total bases tonight.
