Mets vs. Marlins Pick
Money Line Pick for Mets vs. Marlins
- Miami Marlins ML (4 Units)
The Marlins have won seven of their last nine games, while the Mets have lost three of their last five games. Miami has the edge here because they hit the ball well in recent games, and they’re going up against Manaea, who has struggled on the mound, especially on the road, where he gave up 11 runs in his last three starts. He also struggled in recent starts against the Marlins, giving up 10 runs in his last three starts against them, so expect the Marlins to play well offensively here.
New York won't be as successful offensively because they struggled offensively in recent road games, and they’re going up against Perez, who did a good job on the mound in recent starts, giving up three runs in his last three starts. With Miami’s bullpen also playing well in recent games, expect them to keep New York’s offense in check. Take Miami on the money line.
Over/.Under Pick for Mets vs. Marlins
- Under (4 Units)
The Marlins played under the total in four of their last five games. Miami averages 4.40runs per game and averaged 2.33 runs per game in their last three games. They’re batting .231 against left-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up 12 runs in his last three starts. The Mets average 4.77 runs per game and 4.58 runs per game on the road. They’re batting .255 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who didn’t give up a run in two of his last three starts. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total.
