Season series: Brewers lead 1-0
The Brewers won the NL Central last season with a 92-70 record, going 43-38 on the road. After having their 1st game postponed, they started the 2024 season just how they finished 2023. Milwaukee kicked off the season hot with a 3-1 win over the Mets behind the stellar play of RHP Freddy Peralta.
The Mets, who finished 4th in the NL East a season ago with a 75-87 record, ended the 2023 season with a 43-38 home record. They failed to do much of anything offensively on Opening Day as they ended with a single hit, a home run from RF Starling Marte. With the No. 1 payroll in MLB, expectations are high for New York entering 2024.
