The Milwaukee Brewers offensive woes continue.

The Brewers were shut out in their series opener against the New York Mets 4-0 and now face left hander David Peterson, which has been a cause for concern for the sputtering Milwaukee offense. The team will hope to give some run support for 2021 Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes, but the team has dropped nine of their last 10 games and look lost at the dish.

Here are the odds for Wednesday's meeting with odds courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook:

Brewers vs. Mets Prediction and Pick

It's dire times in Milwaukee, the team is 29th in wRC+ since the calendar flipped to June, only the Detroit Tigers are generating fewer run scoring chances. Nothing is working for the offense and it may be in for a long night once again facing a lefty in Peterson. The Brewers are hitting .216 against southpaws this season, also second worst in the big leagues.

As for the Brewers pitching staff, the team will hope Burnes can stop the bleeding. He is still in the mix for Cy Young, but he is far from his 2021 self with his underlying metrics hinting that some regression is coming. While he has a 2.48 ERA and leads Major League Baseball in strikeouts, his FIP is north of 3.00 and he is walking more betters per nine innings.

He'll be facing a scorching hot Mets team that is getting runs from everywhere, both from the long ball and from generating run scoring chances. The team is second in wRC+ this season and can put pressure on Burnes early and often.

I lean towards the under, but can't back the Brewers as road favorites against the best team in the National League.

LEAN: UNDER 7.5, Mets ML (+120)
