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.
