The New York Mets and Miami Marlins meet Sunday in MLB action at Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The New York Mets have scored 12 runs in their first 3 games and 4 or more runs in 2 of their 3 games. The Mets have won 6 straight games when scoring 4 or more runs. Starling Marte leads the Mets with 5 hits and 1 RBI, while Jeff McNeil and Omar Narvaez have combined for 6 hits and 3 RBI. Kodai Senga will make his major league debut when he takes the hill. Senga was 104-51 with a 2.42 ERA and 1,486 strikeouts in his foreign career.

The Miami Marlins have scored 7 runs in their first 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in all 3 games. The Marlins have lost 7 of their last 8 games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Luis Arraez leads the Marlins with 7 hits and 1 RBI, while Garrett Cooper and Nick Fortes have combined for 8 hits and 4 RBI. Trevor Rogers gets the ball, and he was 4-11 with a 5.47 ERA and 106 strikeouts last season. Rogers is 2-1 with a 2.76 ERA and 39 strikeouts in his career against the Mets.

The Mets are 1-4 in their last 5 road games and 4-1 in their last 5 vs. National League East. The Marlins are 13-29 in their last 42 home games and 5-2 in their last 7 overall. The over is 15-5 in Mets last 20 overall. The under is 6-2-1 in Marlins last 9 overall. The Mets are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Miami and 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.

I’m not eager to get behind the Miami Marlins and this sluggish offense that looks a lot like a year ago. However, I have a rule about backing pitchers making their big league debut. No matter what Kodai Senga could become, nobody knows what to expect until he pitches under the bright lights. So, by default, I’m going to snag the plus money with the fish.
