Mets at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 5, Marlins 2

Moneyline

PASS.

Surprisingly, the Marlins have played the Mets tough, but New York will even their series on Monday evening. As confident as I am, I’ll stay away from the Mets (-172) moneyline and look to the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET METS -1.5 (-106).

Peterson has been lights out since rejoining the Mets rotation in late May. He is 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA in July and he hasn’t allowed more than 2 ER in any of his last 5 starts. Peterson may have struggled a bit in his 1st start against the Marlins in 2024, but got the victory.

The Mets have hit better on the road than at Citi Field this season, batting 30 points higher.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

The Under has hit in 3 of the last 4 matchups between these 2 teams.

The Under has also hit in Peterson’s last 2 starts. He has allowed just 13 runs in his last 38 2/3 IP (less than 2 runs per start) since the start of June.

The Marlins have been Under in 3 of their last 4 games. Chirinos is 2-2-1 against the Over in his last 5 starts.

The Miami Heat avenged their only loss of the summer, a California Classic defeat to the Golden State Warriors by clawing back to defeat the Warriors 102-99 Sunday night in NBA 2K25 action at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

The Heat will take on the Memphis Grizzlies Monday night at 8 p.m. for their first ever summer league championship. Should the Heat win Monday night, they will be awarded with championship rings and a trophy.

“We always want to win,” Heat summer league coach Dan Bisaccio said after the game. “So no matter what, when we have an opportunity to win a championship, of course we’re going for it. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer league, it doesn’t matter if it’s some kind of spring ball. Whatever it is, we’re always going to want an opportunity to compete for a championship.”

Miami was trailing by ten points in the third quarter before they turned the game around. Miami went on a 27-11 run to grab a temporary lead in the fourth quarter. The game was at issue until the waning seconds.

Josh Christopher had another big fourth quarter as he scored 13 of his team-high 23 points in the final stanza. He had a big three-point play with 40 seconds left to give Miami the lead they would not relinquish.

“We’re not done, obviously this was a big win,” Christopher said. “Our goal is the same, to win a championship. I’m really just honing in on a road that impacts winning and we are doing that as a unit.”

Pelle Larsson added 21 points, six assists, four rebounds and four steals. The game marked the first time this summer that the guard went over the 20-point mark. Kel’el Ware continued his domination of the summer league with 18 points and five rebounds.

Warriors former first-round pick Kevin Knox II scored a game high 31 points to pace Golden State.

A woman was stabbed multiple times at Miami International Airport late Saturday night creating a chaotic scene as airport operations were disrupted and there was initially a fear of an active shooter, according to reports from officials.

The woman was hospitalized in critical condition and a man, who allegedly tried to throw the woman off a railing, is in custody, according to multiple reports. According to airport officials, the airport was back to normal operations on Sunday.

“In the midst of the chaos, officers received reports of a possible active shooter,” Detective Angel Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police Department, said in a statement released Sunday morning, according to Local 10 News.

Rodriguez said in the statement the stabbing happened shortly after 11:30 p.m., at the airport’s Terminal J, on the fourth floor. The man tried to throw her off a railing.

According to a police statement released to Boca News Now, the victim “was able to escape the attack and ran down the stairs to the 3rd floor level, which is where the officers found her.”

The statement said responding officers took the suspect into custody and recovered the knife. The victim was taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Rodriguez told Local 10 News that the incident disrupted airport operations and Boca News reported the airport was on temporary lockdown.
