Meanwhile, the Mets are 9-2 in their last 11 Wednesday games and 36-16 in their last 52 versus the NL East. New York is 39-18 in their last 57 at home. 

PICK: I’m going to try the Marlins here. Luzardo has done well over his last two starts. In that span he’s got three earned on eight hits and two walks in 12.2 innings of work. As for Walker, he’s managed seven earned in 20.1 innings over his last three starts, so he’s on a nice run as well. We should have a fun starter matchup here, and if the Marlins can get the bats going I think they’ll be in line for a potential W.
