New York Mets vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction and Same Game Parlay picks, August 26, 2026

As the Mets and Brewers face off, keep an eye on Bo Bichette's hitting line, particularly the "Under 1.5" hits. Though Bichette is a talented player, recent trends point to a struggle against left-handed pitching, and today he’ll be up against David Peterson. Peterson has been on a roll, boasting a solid strikeout rate and limiting hard contact, which is crucial when facing a hitter like Bichette. Furthermore, the Brewers have been experiencing a rollercoaster offensive stretch, with their lineup often stalling against lefties. Bichette might find himself battling not only Peterson but also a potent Mets bullpen that excels in high-leverage situations. With the odds stacked against him and a model projection of just 0.57 hits, taking the under on Bichette feels like a smart play. Look for him to face a tough outing, as the Mets aim to stifle the Brewers' hopes.

Jackson Chourio Under 1.5 Hits (-256)

As the New York Mets prepare to host the Milwaukee Brewers, all eyes will be on rookie sensation Jackson Chourio. While the kid has electrified the diamond, recent trends suggest he might struggle against the Mets’ pitching staff. New York’s arms have been on fire lately, boasting a strikeout rate that ranks among the highest in the league. Chourio has faced a tougher slate of pitchers recently, and with a lineup that’s been susceptible to strikeouts, going under 1.5 hits looks enticing. In his last few games, he’s been held to a combined three hits over four outings, showcasing a tendency to chase pitches outside the zone. As the Mets’ bullpen continues to tighten up, it’s hard to see Chourio breaking through for multiple hits tonight. Remember, sometimes the young guns need a little time to adjust, especially against a squad as formidable as the Mets.

Francisco Lindor (NYM) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-172)

As the Mets gear up to face the Brewers, all eyes will be on Francisco Lindor, but betting on him to go over 1.5 total bases might be a risky venture. Recent trends show Lindor struggling against left-handed pitching, and Milwaukee’s starter has been effective on the mound, limiting hard contact and keeping opposing hitters at bay. Moreover, Lindor’s numbers this season reveal a stark contrast in performance away from home, where his power numbers dip significantly. The Brewers’ bullpen has also been formidable lately, stifling runs and putting pressure on hitters like Lindor. With the Mets’ offense sputtering against lefties in recent weeks, it’s hard to envision Lindor finding the gaps or rounding the bases with consistency tonight. Given these factors, betting the under on his total bases seems like a prudent choice in this matchup.
