Marlins vs Mets Prediction
New York picked up a very important win on Saturday afternoon in game two of this series, but they still need to gain ground on Cincinnati to make the playoffs. The Mets are 34-46 on the road this season, while the Marlins are 37-43 at home. Miami is starting Cabrera, who has allowed 3+ earned runs in four of his last five starts. New York is going with Manaea, who has allowed 3+ earned runs in three of his last five outings. I really want to take the Mets in the must win, but I am not confident in either starter. Take the over here.
