The Mets welcome the red-hot first-place Milwaukee Brewers to Citi Field.

We enter the final week before the All-Star Game with the Mets in first place. An exciting weekend set against the Yankees gives way to a strong home test: three games against the National League Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers.

The first game of the series is a tough one for the Mets. Milwaukee sends their ace, All-Star Brandon Woodruff, to the mound against rookie Tylor Megill.

With trade winds blowing and the rest of the NL East scratching to hang around, the Mets will need the bats to come alive against one of the best pitching staffs in the league.
