Let's break down Game 2 Mets vs Brewers odds for this Wild-Card series.

Mets vs Brewers Pick - Game 2
Mets -112
This one's a pretty easy bet for me. The Mets' offense is clearly hotter here (with big performances on both Monday and Tuesday), plus the pitching falls in their favor.
The Brewers are starting Frankie Montas, who has a 4.84 ERA on the season and has allowed 13 runs in his last three starts (12.1 IP). Active Mets have a collective .275 average and .773 OPS against Montas.
On the New York side, Sean Manaea takes the ball with his 3.47 ERA and 3.32 mark in September. The Mets have won eight of his last nine starts.
Mets vs Brewers Prop Pick
Francisco Lindor OVER 1.5 Total Bases (Even)
Francisco Lindor is on quite the heater. The likely NL MVP finalist has 11 hits in his last nine games, surpassing 1.5 total bases five times in that stretch. He's got a career 1.000 OPS with four hits against Frankie Montas, lifetime. I'm also buying into Lindor as a clutch guy. He's had several huge moments already this season and has three homers and an .815 OPS in his last 10 playoff games.
