Miami opened the series with a 5-1 win to make it a three-game winning streak. Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett (0-0, 4.70 ERA) has allowed four runs over 7 2/3 innings in two starts against the Mets on the season. Diamondbacks are 3-9 in their last 12 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Arizona right-hander Ryne Nelson (1-0, 4.91 ERA) has allowed six runs over 11 innings in starts against the Padres and the Dodgers. After opening the season with a couple of winning decisions, I think Nelson and the D'Backs will drop this one.

8* PLAY ON MIAMI MARLINS.
