The New York Mets will look to snap their 2-game skid when they play the second game of their 4-game set with the Miami Marlins today at LoanDepot Park. New York lost the first one last night, 4-6, but I expect they bounce back today. The 49-47 Mets are a good road team, with a record of 23-21, and are expected to have Luis Severino tapping the rubber. The Ex-Yankee is 6-3 with a 3.78 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and New York is 6-1 in his last 7 starts against a team with a losing record. Pete Alonso and company, who are averaging just shy of 5 runs per game, should be able to get to the Marlins expected starter, Roddery Muñoz. He is just 1-4 on the season with an elevated ERA of 5.47 and a 1.41 WHIP. If the Mets want to make a push in the NL East, they have to take care of bottom feeders like the Marlins who are 34-63 overall and 19-31 in South Florida.
