Mets vs Marlins Prediction
The Marlins haven’t been the same team since sweeping the Yankees, and now they’re on the road with a pitcher who has just 5.2 innings under his belt this season. It’s tough to side with the Marlins and Mazur. The Mets are coming off a sweep of the Phillies and have to feel good entering this spot. Holmes has a 3.60 ERA and 1.32 WHIP on the season, and he has a 3.84 ERA and .217 allowed batting average in 70.1 home innings. The Mets can’t afford to blow games like this if they’re serious about making the playoffs. Give me the Mets and the RL for max betting value.
