New York Mets vs Miami Marlins Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 7/22/24, 12:07 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/22/24 at 12:26 PM in MLB Picks

Marlins have a surprising 2-1 lead over the Mets that will take them to the 4th and final game of the series in Miami. On Sunday something unusual happened for the Marlins and that is that two of their stars hit 2 HRs in the same game, Chisholm hit his 13th HR and Burger his 12th. The Mets offense has slowed down a bit from the frenetic pace they showed especially in June. Yesterday, at LoanDepotPark they left a very high number of men on base, 19, with Alonso being the one who left the most on base with 4. They also struck out 14 times, Nimmo went 0 for 3 with 3 strikeouts.

The Marlins found a lock in the 9th inning in the actions of their closer Scott who retired the Mets in order, striking out 2 and recording his 16th save.

Without a doubt, the Game 4 pitching duel seems more favorable for the Mets. The addition of Peterson revitalized the New York starting rotation. The left-hander has a record of 4-0, and an ERA of 3.09. His last outing on July 11 was one of great work, pitching 6 scoreless innings and striking out 5.
