**Mets to Face Brewers in Wild Card Showdown on Tuesday**

The New York Mets won't have much downtime following their thrilling victory. Their next challenge awaits as they gear up to face the Milwaukee Brewers in the MLB Wild Card series at 5:32 p.m. ET on Tuesday, with the game broadcasted on ESPN. This game is part of a day packed with playoff baseball action, and the Mets-Brewers clash is the third game in the lineup.

Milwaukee will send Freddy Peralta to the mound. This season, Peralta holds an 11-9 record with a 3.68 ERA. Though the Mets haven't officially announced their starting pitcher, indications lean towards Luis Severino, given his 11-7 record and 3.91 ERA. Severino was set to pitch on Monday but was held back after the Mets opted for Joey Lucchesi in the first game of the doubleheader to ensure Severino's availability for Tuesday.

On Opening Day, Peralta faced the Mets at Citi Field, delivering an impressive performance with six innings of one-run, one-hit ball and claiming the win for the Brewers. Severino, in contrast, had a rough outing against the Brewers earlier this season, surrendering six runs (three earned) on 11 hits over five innings on March 30, marking his highest hits allowed in any start this year.

Adding to the schedule, Game 2 of the Mets-Brewers series is slated for 7:38 p.m. ET on Wednesday, also airing on ESPN. Should a third game be necessary to decide the series, it will take place at 8:38 p.m. ET on Thursday and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
