The National League East leading New York Mets have now won 4 straight, after knocking off the Miami Marlins in the first game of their 3-game set last night, 6-4, in South Florida. The Marlins, who are 22-24 at LoanDepot Park, have lost 5 straight at home and will have to face Carlos Carrasco tonight. Carrasco is 10-4 with a 4.07 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP. He is 3-0 in his career against Miami with a 2.65 ERA and New York is 6-0 in his last 6 starts against the NL East. Miami had Trevor Rogers slated to take the hill but was scratched due to back soreness so a starter has yet to be determined. Whoever Donnie Baseball gives the nod to had better be on his mark. The Mets have scored 23 runs during their 4-game winning streak and Starling Marte has been giving opposing pitchers fits.
