Three Things To Watch For

1. Stolen Bases. The Brewers like to steal bases. They stole 217 this 12 months, good for second in Major League Baseball behind the Nationals (223). They have 17 of these stolen bases in opposition to the Mets. Just absurd numbers. As quickly as they get on base, they'll steal. How do the Mets reply? How do the Mets forestall the Brewers from moving into their heads? How do I get the Brewers and their stolen bases out of my head?
2. Home runs. We didn’t actually see the Mets biggest power in Milwaukee final week–their power. The Mets hit 207 house runs within the common season, good for sixth in Major League Baseball and fourth within the National League (trailing the Dodgers, Braves, Diamondbacks, forward of the Phillies). When the ball is flying off of the Mets bats, the Mets really feel inevitable.
3. Francisco Lindor. The MVP of the Mets (and competitors for Ohtani for the league MVP) saved the Mets season on Monday. He went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBIs. He was important within the first rally the place the Mets scored six runs to take the lead. He, when the Mets have been at their lowest, he hit a two-run shot to take the lead. On Sunday, Lindor led the Mets to a win in opposition to the Brewers. He’s every thing for this group.
