Marlins visit Mets in division matchup
Willie Randolph's Mets have the Florida Marlins in their rearview mirror in the National League East standings. A solid outing from Tom Glavine today should keep them there.
The Marlins start Dontrelle Willis, 0-0, 0.00 ERA. His last trip was a no decision, a 1-0 team loss against the Astros, when he threw 5 innings, allowing 0 runs on 1 hits.
Florida brings a 1-3 overall mark (0-1 in the division) into this game versus a New York team carrying a 3-1 record.
Oddsmakers like the Mets in this one, opening the line at 145 in favor of New York. The total, which is 3-1-0 to the OVER in Mets games and 3-1-0 in Marlins games, opened at 7.5.
Joe Girardi's team was busy last game losing to the Mets 9-3 as underdogs. The 12 runs sent that game over the total of 8.5.
You can usually count on New York to get men on base as they rank top three in the league with 11.2 hits per game on the season. Florida's pitchers need to keep this group in check.
