Miami Marlins vs New York Mets Prediction 

New York comes into this matchup on a five-game winning streak, and they already have three wins over this Miami team this year. The Mets have had the best pitching staff in baseball through ten games, but Holmes does have a very elevated WHIP through two starts. Miami is playing .500 ball to start the season, but they have dropped three of their last four games. The Marlins have been shut out in two of those three losses, but their pitching staff has allowed just two runs in three of their last five. I think we are going to see another lower-scoring game here, and I like the under.
