Brewers at Mets Predictions, Odds and Betting Picks
Jesse M. Cox Published 27/08/2026
The Milwaukee Brewers are the clear side in this matchup, with DraftKings pricing them at -203 despite a road setting at Citi Field. The biggest edge is the starting pitching gap, as Jacob Misiorowski enters at 13-5 with a 1.68 ERA and 216 strikeouts, while Sean Manaea owns a 4.31 ERA for New York.
Milwaukee also gets a favorable setup against a Mets lineup missing several key pieces. The Brewers' pitching advantage stands out even more with Juan Soto still on the injured list and Devin Williams unavailable for New York.
Brewers vs Mets Game Preview
The Brewers enter at 82-51, while the Mets are 60-73. New York has gone 13-8 in August and won a 3-2 extra-inning game on August 25, but Milwaukee answered with an 8-1 win on August 26. The Brewers have also received steady production from William Contreras and Brice Turang during their strong 2026 campaign.
BREWERS vs. METS: Official Full Game Highlights (August 26) | 2026 MLB Season
Jacob Misiorowski gets the start for Milwaukee with a 13-5 record, 1.68 ERA and 216 strikeouts. Sean Manaea starts for New York at 4-5 with a 4.31 ERA and 117 strikeouts. The Mets remain without Juan Soto, who is on the 10-day IL with a left calf strain, while Mark Vientos continues a minor league rehab assignment after fracturing his right hand.
The biggest situational concern is the weather at Citi Field. Temperatures should sit around 74°F to 76°F at first pitch, with 80% to 85% humidity and south/southeast winds of 6 to 10 mph. A Flood Watch remains active until 11 p.m. EDT, with heavy thunderstorms and scattered rain creating a real risk of delays.
Moneyline Pick
Milwaukee Brewers ML is the pick. Misiorowski's 1.68 ERA and 216 strikeouts give Milwaukee a major starting pitching advantage over Manaea, whose ERA sits at 4.31. DraftKings has the Brewers at -203, while New York is listed at +200.
The Mets also enter with a depleted roster, including Soto on the IL and Devin Williams out with a right shoulder strain. Milwaukee's 82-51 record reflects a much stronger overall profile, and Polymarket traders price the Brewers at 68¢ to win.
Pick: Brewers ML (-203 at DraftKings).
Run Line Pick
Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 is the pick. DraftKings lists Milwaukee at -115 on the standard 1.5-run line, and the pitching matchup gives the Brewers a strong path to separating from New York.
Misiorowski has allowed his results to match his 1.68 ERA, while the Mets just absorbed an 8-1 loss on August 26. Milwaukee's 68¢ game-winner price on Polymarket also shows a clear market preference for the Brewers.
Pick: Brewers -1.5 (-115 at DraftKings).
Best Player Prop
- Jacob Misiorowski strikeouts over his listed line (price not provided at DraftKings). Misiorowski has recorded 216 strikeouts entering this start and carries a 1.68 ERA across the season. The Mets also face a major pitching mismatch with a right-hander producing this level of strikeout volume.

Game Total Pick
Under 7.5 runs is the pick. DraftKings lists the Under 7.5 at -125, and Misiorowski's 1.68 ERA is the strongest number in this matchup. Manaea has a 4.31 ERA, but the Mets' missing bats, including Soto and Vientos, reduce New York's offensive ceiling.
The weather adds some uncertainty because temperatures are expected to sit near 74°F to 76°F with winds of 6 to 10 mph blowing from the south/southeast. The more important factor remains the pitching matchup, with Misiorowski bringing 216 strikeouts and a 1.68 ERA into a game where Milwaukee is favored by 1.5 runs.
Pick: Under 7.5 (-125 at DraftKings).
Best Trades for Brewers vs Mets
Prediction market prices favor Milwaukee, but the 68¢ Brewers contract leaves less room for error than the sportsbook moneyline. The strongest trades focus on Milwaukee's starting pitching edge and the relatively low 7.5-run total.
- Brewers to win: YES at 68¢ on Polymarket. Milwaukee has an 82-51 record and starts Misiorowski, who has a 1.68 ERA and 216 strikeouts. The Mets are 60-73 and remain without Soto.
- Brewers -1.5: YES at 52¢ on Polymarket. Milwaukee won 8-1 on August 26 and has the stronger starter in Misiorowski. The 52¢ price is also below the 68¢ price attached to Milwaukee simply winning.
- Game total over 7.5: NO at 55¢ on Polymarket. Misiorowski's 1.68 ERA and New York's depleted lineup support a lower-scoring game, while DraftKings has the Under 7.5 priced at -125.
