Could Priester Be the Secret Weapon Behind the Brewers’ Unstoppable Streak?

I feel like the Mets are at their ceiling for some reason. The team has been good for about 14 months at this point. Remember, last year they struggled significantly, then everything turned around. They started winning games with frequency, bats started hitting, and their cast of characters for pitching turned in gem after gem. This year just feels like they can’t get the same level of separation. They were 13 games over .500 at the All-Star Break, and after losing the first two games, they won seven straight. The problem is that since that point (July 27th) they have won exactly one game. They are 1-10 over their last 11 games. They are looking for Sean Manaea to right the ship this afternoon, and avoid the sweep at the hands of the Brewers. Manaea only has 23 innings under his belt this year, but he holds a 1-1 record, 3.52 ERA, and a 0.96 WHIP. After only allowing one earned run in each of the first four outings he had this season, he allowed five in 5.2 innings in his most recent start against the Guardians. Brewers hitters are currently batting .289 against him in 38 at-bats.
