NY Mets vs Miami Marlins Prediction
I’ll stick with the Mets, but I’m probably not touching this one. Both starters could use a good showing. Megill is coming off four earned runs on seven hits and three walks in 5.0 innings during a win over the Nationals on June 3. In his two starts before that however, Megill had just two earned in 12.0 frames. As for Luzardo, he coughed up nine earned runs in 4.1 innings on nine hits and two walks in his last start. Luzardo is 0-2 in his last pair.
New York was pretty choppy against the Phillies over the weekend, but the good news is that they’ve scored six or more runs in four of the last five games. I like the Mets to keep it going Tuesday.
