New York Mets vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/08/25

The Mets will send Kodai Senga to the hill, aiming to recapture the dominance he showed before the all-star break. Lately his outings have been hindered by inconsistent command — rising walk totals and more frequent hard contact. Although Senga enters with a 2.31 ERA and a 7-3 record…he has let up 4, 3 and 4 runs since the break. Senga has also gotten away with run support against lesser teams. He hasn’t gotten the decision in 5 contests displaying how the game is often tied or losing after he comes out. Still, Mets sluggers like Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor remain dangerous, combining for potent lefty/righty bats that can take advantage of any early mistakes. If Senga can rely on his splitter and late action fastball, he has the tools to keep Milwaukee’s balanced lineup at bay — especially when tethered to early run support.

On the mound, the Brewers’ Brandon Woodruff brings steadier rhythm to his post-all-star break performance, showing improved control and the ability to work deep into games. Behind him, the Milwaukee offense is no slouch — averaging 5.0 runs per game and the second best clip at hits per game (8.7). Given Woodruff’s recent poise and Senga’s uncertainty, the safer play is on the Brewers’ first 5 money line. Woodruff can weather the early Mets’ bats and hand over a lead. If you’re feeling confident in Milwaukee’s bullpen and offense maintaining that edge, the full-game ML is also compelling — just a touch riskier.
