Mets Pitching Woes as Brewers Surge Continues

As the Mets prepare to take on the Brewers in a three-game series starting on August 11th, 2025, their pitching staff is facing significant challenges. Frankie Montas, who allowed seven runs in his last start, has a 6.68 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over seven starts this season. The Mets are now considering using an opener in front of Montas, as manager Carlos Mendoza remains non-committal about the right-hander's immediate future.

Kodai Senga, who returned from a hamstring injury on July 11th, has also struggled in his last three starts, allowing 11 runs on 13 hits in 12 innings while walking 11 and serving up four home runs. His ERA over that span is a concerning 8.25, and the Mets are dealing with a lack of length from their starting rotation.

Meanwhile, the Brewers continue to roll, riding a five-game winning streak and an 8-2 record in their last 10 games. Despite missing key players like Jackson Chourio, Rhys Hoskins, and Jacob Misiorowski, the Brewers have the best record in baseball at 69-44 and a league-leading run differential of +126. Over their last 24 games, the Brewers have been dominant, going 20-4.

As the Mets look to turn things around, they'll have their hands full against a surging Brewers team that has been firing on all cylinders.
