Isn't it just a fabulous day for baseball in Queens, New York? Well, it's about an explosive match as the Milwaukee Brewers take on the proud New York Mets at the Citi Field doubleheader game 2, where watching a pitcher's duel is akin to watching a unicorn gambol in the garden.
The Brewers are sending their Jedi warrior, Jacob Misiorowski, to the mound. With an imposing 1.13 ERA and confounding 0.63 WHIP so far this season, expect him to put up a masterclass. Now, compare that to the Mets' starter Huascar Brazoban, who possesses a 4.35 ERA, which frankly is as pedestrian as a snail moving uphill. But let's see if he can turn things around.
Beam me some players, Scotty! For the Brewers, Brice Turang has been on fire, batting around baseballs like nothing, with an impressive .340 average and 13 RBIs. Isaac Collins, not far behind, is another name to watch out for with a .333 average along with Christian Yelich and Joey Ortiz. For the Mets side, folks, looks like we have some big swingers too. Juan Soto and Pete Alonso with his .296 average and 23 RBIs, have been trying hard to keep the home fires burning, but will they sustain?
This season record says the two teams are neck and neck, Brewers are 47-37 and the Mets are 48-37. But a quick look at their past confrontations and recent outcomes shows a bit of a different story like a plot twist in a good mystery novel. The Brewers seemingly have had the upper hand lately, and let's just say the Mets are not exactly singing in the rain, having suffered some brutal beatings in recent matches.
Considering all this verbal jumble I just spilled, it feels like the Brewers could well have this game in their hip pocket, thanks to their strong pitching and high-performing batters. The Mets should still put up a good fight though because we all know they have been bats about baseball since 1962.
