Mets vs Mariners Prediction

The Mets haven’t won back-to-back games since July 27, so one win yesterday doesn’t move the needle. The Mets have had a horrible few weeks. Holmes is having a fine season, but he’s allowed nine hits and seven runs in his last 8.2 innings. Kirby has allowed 11 hits and two runs in his last 19 innings, and he has a 1.07 WHIP on the season. I have to side with the Mariners given the pitcher in better form and the Mets racking up the losses over the last month.
