Severino to start Game 1 vs. Brewers
Luis Severino will start Game 1 of the Mets’ Wild Card series against the Brewers. Severino wasn’t needed in the second game today after the Mets clinched in the opener, leaving him 11-7 with a 3.91 ERA to finish the regular season. He’ll be matched up against Freddy Peralta on Tuesday.
Frelick should be available for Game 1
Sal Frelick, who suffered a bone bruise in his left hip Friday, think he’ll be ready to play in Tuesday’s Wild Card Game 1. Frelick worked out on the field today. Incidentally, the area where he got hurt colliding with a section of wall that was hollowed out to include a chain-line fence, has been padded over now.

Mets vs. Brewers Game 1 MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take New York. The Brewers have won eight out of the last 10 meetings between these two teams, but those games were in the regular season. Now that it’s the postseason, it’s time to fade the Brewers.
Last season, the Brewers dropped both games of their Wild Card series to the Diamondbacks. They combined for five runs in those two games. In 2021, the Brewers played four games against the Braves in the Divisional round. They won the first game 2-1, then proceeded to drop the next three contests while scoring a combined four runs.
The Brewers, for whatever reason, are built for regular season success. When the postseason arrives, they’ve been great fade material.
