Marlins vs Mets Prediction
The Marlins are 7-2 in their last 9 meetings against the Mets and have won two of their last three visits in New York. Under is 7-1 in their last 8 meetings.
In this Marlins vs Mets Prediction, the Mets are coming as -135 home favorites. The Marlins are going for a bullpen game today and have been terrible on the road this season. Christian Scott has been very good for the Mets and he shutout the Marlins in his previous start against them this season. He had two earned runs or less in five of his six starts this season and the Mets have a top-8 bullpen to come after him, so I like the Mets to get the job done at home in this one.
