New York Mets vs Miami Marlins Prediction

The New York Mets simply can't afford to blow games like this if they're serious about competing for a playoff spot. The Miami Marlins aren't a good baseball team despite three straight wins, and they're heading toward a fire sale. Braxton Garrett has also had limited reps this season, and he wasn't good in his season debut despite 8 strikeouts. Luis Severino has been sharp up to this point, and he hasn't been easy to hit on the road. The price is more than reasonable given the talent gap in rosters. Give me the Mets and the cheap price on the road.
