The Miami Marlins and New York Mets meet Wednesday in MLB action at Citi Field. The Marlins need a win to snap a seven-game losing streak. The Mets need a win after losing 10 of their last 13 games.
The Miami Marlins have scored six runs in their last three games and three or less runs in five straight games. The Marlins have lost nine straight games when scoring three or less runs. Miguel Rojas leads the Marlins with 128 hits and 46 RBI while Jesus Aguilar and Jazz Chisholm Jr. have combined for 228 hits and 142 RBI. Elieser Hernandez gets the ball, and he is 1-3 with a 4.24 ERA and 47 strikeouts this season. Hernandez is 0-1 with a 2.57 ERA and 21 strikeouts in his career against the Mets.
The New York Mets have scored 11 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in six of their last nine games.

The Marlins are 13-38 in their last 51 road games and 0-5 in their last 5 overall. The Mets are 1-5 in their last 6 home games and 3-13 in their last 16 overall. The over is 6-2 in Marlins last 8 overall. The over is 20-8 in Mets last 28 Wednesday games. The Marlins are 7-20 in the last 27 meetings in New York.
Both the Marlins and Mets have had issues scoring runs, so the over probably isn’t a great idea. However, Hernandez has allowed 38 hits and 18 earned runs in his last 34.1 innings. walker has given up 43 hits and 33 earned runs in his last 47.2 innings. Neither of these pitchers are in great form to say the least. Give me the over.
