NY Mets vs Miami Marlins Prediction

Max Meyer hasn’t been good in a small sample size, and the Marlins struggle to string runs together since trading away half of their lineup. The NY Mets simply can’t afford to blow Games like this as they’re fighting for their lives in the wild card race. Luis Severino has been respectable this season, and he’s been at his best at home. This is a Game the Mets can’t lose if they’re serious about stealing one of those wild card spots. Give me the Mets and the RL for max betting value.
