New York Mets vs. Miami Marlins Prediction
I’m on the Marlins here. The Mets are back to riding the struggle bus and Christian Scott is not a name I envision showing up to play the role of stopper in this spot. The Marlins have been the better team in this series and I think that remains here as well. Give me the Marlins here.
