Houser has a 3.92 ERA over 11 starts this season, coming off an outing where he allowed 5 runs over 6 innings in a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Brewers fell to 25th in batting average, and Willy Adames leads the team with 11 home runs after smashing a homer in his last time out.
New York (40-22) won two of three games over the weekend in a series with the Los Angeles Angels as they head into Tuesday with the top record in the National League. Bassitt has a 4.35 ERA in 12 starts during his first season with the Mets.

Odds, picks & predictions
Run line: Mets -1.5 (+135)
Run total: 8
Moneyline odds: Mets -155, Brewers +135
Moneyline pick: Mets -155
Houser has impressive numbers to this point of the season, but he has struggled through two of his last three outings, giving up 5 earned runs in losses to the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals. Bassitt certainly hasn’t been at his best in 2022, but there is a clear advantage for the Mets when it comes to offense.
Player prop pick: Adrian Houser Under 3.5 strikeouts (-135)
The Brewers starter is not a strikeout pitcher as you can tell by this low total, and his K/9 is just 7.2 this season, which is even higher than last year. Houser is getting a matchup with a Mets lineup that does not strike out all that much, averaging the sixth-fewest K’s per game heading into Tuesday.
