Miami Marlins vs NY Mets Prediction
I might take a stab on the Marlins. Probably not touching this one in reality, though. Munoz hasn’t been spectacular over his last few starts. He’s coming off four earned in 6.2 innings in a loss to Houston, and gave up four earned in 8.2 innings prior to that. Still, if Munoz can muscle out a quality start here the Marlins should be in contention.
On Friday Miami got off to a great 4-0 start then hit some bumps along the way. The back end of the pen came through, but the Marlins used six arms in total along the way to the win. Munoz needs to post some quality innings here.
