The Milwaukee Brewers and the New York Mets are getting ready for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series on October 01, 2024, at 5:32 pm ET /2:32 pm PT.
These teams have been battling each other a lot, as they just finished a game in Milwaukee on Sunday. The Mets then went to Atlanta for a very important makeup game on Monday that decided the last two playoff spots in the National League. By separating the doubleheader, the Braves, and Mets both made it to the playoffs, whereas the Arizona Diamondbacks were out of the running.
The Mets have shown amazing toughness by going back to Milwaukee for this unintentional playoff matchup. Even though they had a rough start to the season (22–33 at the end of May), they finished 75–87 and rallied under new boss Carlos Mendoza to win the last wild card spot in the National League. Meanwhile, the Brewers shocked many by winning their 2nd straight NL Central title.
In terms of offense, both teams are about even. The Mets are seventh in MLB with 4.74 runs scored per game, while the Brewers are sixth with 4.80. Their batting numbers are also pretty close: the Mets hit .246 (12th) and Milwaukee hit .248 (8th).
