Miami Marlins vs New York Mets Picks

Marlins vs Mets Spread Pick

  • Take the Marlins to cover (5 units)

The Marlins have not been good on the road this season. The Mets have also not been good at home. What is going to give in this game? The difference will come from Miami's offense. This month the Marlin’s bats are hitting .250 compared to New York’s .225 in May. This is going to be a huge benefit allowing Miami more base runners and chances to score. This slight difference is going to pay dividends against Christian Scott, who has a 4.50 ERA at home for New York.

Take the Marlins to cover.

Marlins vs Mets Over/Under Pick

  • Take the under (5 units) 

The main reason both teams have been poor and near the bottom of the standings has been their lack of offensive production. The bats can hit for extra bases and home runs are rare. It doesn't matter who is pitching the lineups are not good enough especially at the moment.

Take the under on Saturday.
