Miami Marlins vs. New York Mets Pick & Prediction
The Miami Marlins and New York Mets will compete in the finale of their three-game series on Wednesday, April 9 at 1:10 PM ET at Citi Field in Queens, New York. MyBookie currently has the MLB odds set with the Mets moderately favored at a moneyline of -225.
Miami Marlins Betting Preview
The Marlins have lost their last two games and are 1-4 over their last five. Both recent losses have been in this series, with their latest being a 10-5 performance against the Mets.
Miami jumped out to a 2-1 lead after the first inning and steadily held it until a tie in the bottom of the third. Then their defense fell apart with four runs allowed in the bottom of the fifth and three more in the sixth. In other words, their offense was solid but their defense collapsed.
Otto Lopez has been appealing with two home runs and seven RBIs to lead the Marlins in those aspects. Xavier Edwards leads with a batting average of .279, a .347 on base percentage, and a .349 slugging percentage. Compared to the team’s averages, he is their leading man here.
The Marlins have a batting average of .237 and they are allowing their opponents to get .236 at the plate. Max Meyer (0-1) is expected to get the start and has an ERA of 3.09 (better than team average) and a WHIP at 1.37 in 11.2 innings pitched so far.
New York Mets Betting Preview
The Mets have now won their sixth straight after defeating the Marlins in Game 2 of their series. Pete Alonso helped drive in four runs while Francisco Lindor contributed a lead-off home run to get the offense going early in the game.
New York has been averaging 4.66 runs and allowing 2.16 runs from opposing teams each game during their six-game win streak. At this pace, they are giving themselves plenty of breathing room. They have also scored 10 runs twice this season and their best offensive performances, both of which have been against the Marlins.
Alonso still continues to produce at a high rate offensively for the Mets. He leads with three homers, 15 RBIs, and a .333 batting average. He also pushes with a .447 on base percentage and a .692 slugging percentage, which are well above the team average.
The Mets are averaging .206 at the plate, which is interesting to see since they have been performing well overall. Their defense is allowing opponents to get .204 at the plate, which on paper does not offer a lot of breathing room.
