This is an 8* on the METS

These teams played a doubleheader on Tuesday. The Mets won both games, ending a five-game skid. The Marlins have now lost seven in a row. Both teams shuffled around their rotations for yesterday’s games. For Miami, it didn’t really matter as their offense has been putrid during this losing streak. They’ve managed only 14 runs in the last seven games and five of the runs came in one game. After managing just three runs in 16 innings of baseball yesterday (2nd game went to extras), we don’t see them turning things around at the plate here. It’s not been a good second half for Mets starter Taijuan Walker, but this is a matchup where he pretty clearly should excel. Walker’s numbers at home remain solid. The Mets are also 21-8 as a favorite of -125 to -175 at Citi Field. Visiting teams have averaged only 3.6 runs/game at this park in 2021 and the Marlins offense has struggled all season on the road. Elieser Hernandez isn’t good enough to turn around Miami’s fortunes as he allowed three home runs in his last start and has a 1.81 WHIP in his previous three. Play on NY METS
