The New York Mets, who successfully dominated with a balanced offense and defense, are looking for Luis Severino (7 wins, 6 losses, 4.17 ERA) to achieve his 8th victory of the season. After suffering a loss with 4 earned runs over 5 innings in an away game against Seattle on the 12th, Severino has been struggling, allowing 4 or more earned runs in his last three games. However, he has shown strength at home this year and has performed exceptionally well against Miami, allowing just 1 earned run over 12 innings, which he must leverage in this matchup. The Mets’ lineup, which scored 7 runs including 2 home runs against Munoz and Soriano in the previous game, is fortunate to have rejuvenated their power hitting at home. The 2 home runs resulting in 5 RBIs reflect the Mets' identity. Jose Butto, who recorded 2 innings with just 1 hit and no earned runs, is likely the best supporting player.
The Miami Marlins, whose recent pitching struggles have led to consecutive losses, will have Max Meyer (3 wins, 2 losses, 5.20 ERA) looking for his 4th win of the season. After a solid performance of 6.1 innings allowing 4 earned runs in a home game against San Diego on the 12th, Meyer is slowly rediscovering his pitching prowess. However, he has been known to struggle on the road, and overcoming this in the upcoming game will be crucial for the team's success. In the previous game, the Marlins managed to score only 3 runs, including a solo home run by Jake Burger against Manaea, and their hitting momentum appears to have stalled after a recent comeback loss. These days, Miami's hitting largely revolves around the duo of Edwards and Burger. The bullpen, which allowed 2 earned runs over 4.2 innings, has also been struggling since their collapse in a close game.
Recently, Miami's offense has been performing well against right-handed pitchers. There is some potential for competition against Severino. However, with Munoz's struggles in the previous game, it may be hard to expect a stellar performance from Meyer in this matchup as well. Additionally, the Mets managed to finish the previous game with just Butto, minimizing the strain on their bullpen. The New York Mets, with a more favorable lineup, appear closer to victory.
Expected Score: 7-4, New York Mets win
Handicap: New York Mets win
