Marlins vs Mets Prediction

The Marlins are 7-1 in their last 8 meetings against the Astros and are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in New York. They swept their previous series this season by 3-0 wins and a combined 10-2 score.

In this Marlins vs Mets Prediction, the Mets are coming as -125 home favorites. The Marlins dominated the Mets just a week ago and now have the pitching edge with the red-hot Max Meyer on the bump, who is coming off back-to-back shutouts, one of them against the Mets and has won all of his five starts this season. On the flip side, Freedy Peralta has given up 7 runs in his last two starts for the Mets and the Marlins have a better offense, so I expect Miami to win this one on the road.
