The NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers will look to get the monkey off their back when their four-game set against the New York Mets continues Wednesday. The Brewers can’t seem to find their footing at Citi Field with seven consecutive losses at that ballpark, including the first two games of this series.
Junior Guerra looked solid in his first start back from the DL, as the righty allowed just one run in 5.2 innings of work this past Friday. Guerra has only faced the Mets once in his relatively short MLB career with the Venezuelan holding New York to just one run last June. In general, the Brewers pitching staff has been struggling with the long ball, as Milwaukee has surrendered 14 home runs in its past nine games.
After some up-and-down play this season, it appears that Jacob deGrom is dialed in. The Mets pitcher has allowed just one run over his past 15.1 innings of work while registering a 19/4 K/BB ratio. Citi Field has been good to deGrom so far this season with the righty posting a 2.19 ERA while allowing 0.74 hits per inning at home.
