The New York Mets host the Milwaukee Brewers for the second game of the series. The Mets blanked the Brewers 4-0 on Tuesday, improving to 41-22 on the year, the best record in the National League. Milwaukee is now just 34-29, and they have fallen to 2.5 games back of the NL Central-leading Cardinals.
The Mets will trot out David Peterson on Wednesday, who has a 3-0 record and a 3.00 ERA through six starts and eight total appearances. As a starter, his ERA is slightly higher at 3.38. The lefty has failed to complete five innings in his last two starts.
Peterson's up against an average Brewers lineup that relies on the long ball. They're third in the MLB in homers, but they're also 25th in batting average and rank in the bottom half in runs per game. Facing southpaws, they have just a .655 OPS, the sixth-lowest mark in the entire league. Look for Peterson to keep his team in the game and depend on his offense to support him on Wednesday.

Corbin Burnes, the reigning Cy Young winner, gets the call Wednesday for the visiting Brewers. Burnes is just 3-4, but he has a solid 2.48 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. He's lost his previous two starts, but last season he was excellent against the Mets. He pitched 12 2/3 frames and allowed just two runs facing New York, so he'll try to build off of that success. The Mets do have a much stronger lineup now than they did a year ago, so it won't be as easy for Burnes against the third-highest scoring team in the MLB.
