Marlins Coming Off Series Win

The Marlins are coming off a loss, but they won two of the three games against the Philadelphia Phillies. On Wednesday, the Marlins scored five runs, but the pitching gave up nine runs and that led to the defeat. At the end of the first inning, they were up 3-0, but they couldn’t hang on with the pitching. Edward Cabrera went four innings, giving up six hits and six runs. The Marlins are averaging 3.71 runs, while their pitching is giving up 5.04 runs per game. The offense is ranked 29th, while the pitching is ranked 28th. Jake Burger has hit 24 home runs and driven in 54 RBIs. Getting the start for the Mets will be Roddery Munoz, who sits with a 2-6 record and an ERA of 5.67. In his last start against the San Diego Padres he went five innings giving up six hits and three runs.

Mets Fell Short

The Mets fell short on Thursday, and the pitching was the biggest issue. The Mets had nine hits, but the pitching gave up 12. Mark Vientos hit two home runs and drove in three RBIs. The Mets are averaging 4.79 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.61 runs per game. The offense is ranked 9th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 20th in the league. Pete Alsono has hit 26 home runs and driven in 68 RBIs. Getting the start for the Mets will be Sean Manaea who sits with an 8-5 record and an ERA of 3.44. In his last start against the Seattle Mariners, he went three innings giving up four hits and three runs.

Miami Marlins vs New York Mets Prediction

The Mets struggled on Thursday with the pitching, but they are going to bounce back here. I don’t trust the Marlins offense, and they are going to really struggle to get anything going against Manaea. Look for him to dominant here, and that is going to be the difference here. The Mets might not run up the score, but they will score five or six runs and that will be enough. Back the Mets on the money line.
