Marlins vs Mets Prediction 

New York was able to get the win on Friday, despite multiple blown leads, and they have won two games in a row. The Mets are 13-15 at home this year, while the Marlins are 8-17 on the road. Miami has lost three in a row and they have allowed 19 runs during that span. The Marlins are starting Phillips, who will only pitch a few innings, while Scott has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. I don’t like either pitching situation, but Miami has been awful on the road. Take the Mets here.
