The New York Mets are 63-37 this season and have won five games in a row. New York has won the first two games of this series by scores of 6-4 and 4-0. The New York pitching staff has a 3.55 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP, and a .232 opponent batting average this season. The Mets offense has scored 466 runs with a .253 batting average and a .325 on base percentage. Pete Alonso is batting .274 with 26 home runs and 84 RBI’s for the Mets this season. The projected starter for New York is Taijuan Walker, who is 8-2 with a 2.67 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP over 97.2 innings pitched this season.
The Miami Marlins are 47-54 this season and have lost three of their last four games. Prior to losing the first two games of this series, Miami split a four game set with the Cincinnati Reds. The Miami pitching staff has a 3.87 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, and a .236 opponent batting average. The Marlins offense has scored 403 runs with a .238 batting average and a .301 on base percentage this year. Jesus Aguilar is batting .246 with 12 home runs and 43 RBI’s for the Marlins this season. The projected starter for Miami is Pablo Lopez, who is 7-5 with a 3.03 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP over 116 innings pitched this season.
New York is 5-0 in their last 5 games and 46-22 in their last 68 games against the NL East. The under is 4-1 in New York’s last 5 Sunday games. Miami is 5-1 in their last 6 Sunday games and 0-6 in their last 6 home games. The over is 16-6-1 in Miami’s last 23 game three’s of a series. New York is 10-4 in these two teams last 14 head to head meetings.
New York has been able to maintain their lead in the NL East, but the Braves are playing very well and are only three games back. The Mets will be starting Taijuan Walker, who has allowed four runs over his last 19 innings pitched. For the Marlins, Pablo Lopez has allowed eight runs over his last 22 innings of work. These two pitchers have been very good this season and I do not expect many runs in this game.
