The Milwaukee Brewers were facing elimination yesterday as the New York Mets were up 3-1 but the Brewers stood their ground, rallied to a 5-3 comeback win, and forced a game 3 in the NL Wild Card series. Tonight, at American Family Field, the expected starters are Tobias Myers for Milwaukee and lefty José Quintana for New York. Both pitchers were in the zone going down the stretch. Quintana was 10-10 in the regular season with a 3.75 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, and was 4-1 to finish the season with an ERA of only 0.74. It doesn’t get much better than that. Myers was 9-6 in the regular season with a 3.00 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, and was 3-1 down the stretch with a 3.03 ERA. He last faced the Mets on Saturday in relief, where he pitched 4 scoreless innings, yielding only one hit, no runs, and the Brewers cruised to a 6-0 victory. Quintana has been dealing but the Brewers feast on left-handed starters. They are 7-1 in their last 8 against southie starters and 5-1 in their last 6 against them at home. The Brewers have also won 6 of the 8 meetings with the Mets this year and will have the home crowd behind them.
