Miami Marlins vs NY Mets Prediction 

Miami comes into this game with a ton of momentum after a huge ninth inning rally on Saturday, and they are looking for their fifth win in a row. The Marlins are 8-17 at home, but they have looked like a different team over the last week. New York is 10-11 on the road this year, but they have really struggled over the last four weeks. The Mets should have the pitching advantage with Manaea on the mound, but the Marlins are all of a sudden scoring a bunch of runs. I think we see a higher scoring game and my Miami Marlins vs NY Mets prediction is for this game to go over the total.
