Vientos sparks Mets’ comeback
Mark Vientos went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI against the Brewers on Tuesday. The Mets broke the game open with a five-run fifth inning and Vientos was in the middle of it. He broke a 4-4 tie with a two-run single and scored on an RBI single by J.D. Martinez. Vientos wasn’t even the Mets’ starting third baseman to begin the season, but took the job and ran with it in midseason. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is developing a habit of removing Vientos late in games for defense. On Tuesday, Luisangel Acuna came into the game for Vientos and went to second base with Jose Iglesias sliding over to third base.
Frankie Montas is scheduled to start Game 2 for the Brewers on Wednesday. With the season on the line, Milwaukee will turn to Montas as they find themselves down 1-0 in the series heading into Game 2 against the Mets. Teams that lose Game 1 are 0-8 in series since the current Wild Card format began in 2022.

Mets vs. Brewers Game 2 MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I’ll write the same thing I wrote yesterday when I backed the Mets in Game 1: It’s the MLB postseason, which means it’s time to fade the Brewers. Milwaukee has now lost six consecutive postseason games. They’re 1-10 in playoff games dating back to a loss against the Dodgers in Game 7 of the 2018 NLCS.
Their roster is built for regular season success, I’ll give them that. Why it’s different in the postseason, I don’t know, but it is. Now their season is on the line and they’re forced to give the ball to Frankie Montas, who owns a 5.55 ERA over his last five starts. Good luck with that, Milwaukee.
