The New York Mets will play the Miami Marlins in Game 4 of their series on Sunday afternoon at loanDepot park in Miami, Florida.
The New York Mets are 2-1 this season after they defeated the Marlins by a score of 6-2 on Saturday. New York also won Game 1 of this series by a score of 5-3. The New York pitching staff has a 2.42 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and a .255 opponent batting average this year. The Mets offense has scored 12 runs with a .242 batting average and a .339 on base percentage. Pete Alonso is batting .273 with one home run and two RBI’s for the Mets this season. The projected starting pitcher for New York is Kodai Senga, who will be making his MLB debut in this game.
The Miami Marlins are 1-2 this season after they lost to New York on Saturday, but they did win Game 2 of this series by a score of 2-1 on Friday. The Miami pitching staff has a 4.00 ERA, a 1.44 WHIP, and a .242 opponent batting average.

New York is 2-4 in their last 6 road games and 5-1 in their last 6 games against the NL East. The over is 4-1 in New York’s last 5 Sunday games. Miami is 5-2 in their last 7 game four’s of a series and 2-6 in their last 8 Sunday games. The under is 33-13-5 in Miami’s last 51 game four’s of a series. New York is 8-3 in these two teams last 11 head to head meetings.
Miami comes into this game trying to split the four game series with New York, but they will have to do it with Trevor Rogers on the mound, who did not have a good season last year. New York also has some questions on the mound, as Kodai Senga will be making his debut. I am going to side with New York in this game, as they have the better lineup and should have a big day against Rogers.
