Why The Mets Could Cover The Spread
Kodai Senga has been the best pitcher on the Mets, and one of the top rookies in the MLB. He has a 2.95 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 191 strikeouts in 155 1/3 innings. He has also already pitched twice against the Marlins already this season. In those games, Senga has thrown 11 1/3 innings, allowed just six hits, struck out 14, and he has a 1.59 ERA. Senga has had a lot of success against the Marlins this season, and that should continue in this game. If Senga can go six or seven strong, the Marlins will find a way to cover the spread.
Why The Marlins Could Cover The Spread
Perez has been a great rookie this season. He has a 3.06 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 106 strikeouts in 88 1/3 innings pitched. What makes this a great matchup for him is how Perez performs at home. When pitching in Miami, Perez has a 1.69 ERA, .184 oBA, and 55 strikeouts in 42 2/3 innings pitched. Perez has had a lot of success at home, and he has only given up five home runs at home this season. The Mets are not a great hitting team, but they do use the long ball to their advantage a lot. If Perez can keep the Mets in the ballpark, and continue to pitch well at home, the Marlins will cover the spread.
Final Mets-Marlins Prediction & Pick
This is a fantastic pitching matchup. It will be for years to come, as well. This is the first time Perez is facing the Mets, and the third time Senga is facing the Marlins. With this game being in Miami, and the Marlins being the underdog, I am going to take the Marlins to cover the spread.
Final Mets-Marlins Prediction & Pick: Marlins +1.5 (-205), Under 7.5 (-110)
