Mets - Brewers: Starting pitchers and lineups for AL Wild Card series game 2
The Mets and the Brewers are set to for what promises to be a great game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series.
With a victory, the Mets would have their first postseason series win since 2015′s, while the Brewers would have their sixth straight first-round playoff elimination. The Mets are looking quite strong at the moment and the Brewers will have a hard time keeping up.
Starting pitchers:
Mets: Sean Manaea
Brewers: Frankle Montas
Sean Manaea, known for his ability to handle high-pressure situations, will take the mound for the Mets. On the other side, Frankie Montas, with his powerful arm and strikeout ability, will start for the Brewers.
What are the lines up for the game between the Mets and Brewers?
The Mets’ lineup features a blend of power and speed, led by Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor. Nimmo’s ability to get on base and Lindor’s all-around skills makes them very difficult to contain.
The Brewers, meanwhile, will rely on the consistency of Sal Frelick and the power of Willy Adams to turn the series around. Frelick’s ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities will be key, while Adam’s power can change the game with one swing.
