Final Marlins-Mets Prediction & Pick
This game is all about the pitching. Luis Severino has been solid this year while being better at home. Roddery Munoz has been giving up a lot of home runs and struggled on the road. The Met's offense is better overall but has struggled as of late. While thye have struggled, they are the better team overall. It is clear they are working their way back from their trip to London and should have their legs back under in this one.
