Pick
I’m backing the Marlins here. The Marlins have the pitching edge here with Edward Cabrera going and Cabrera just looks to be next in the long line of solid pitchers that the Marlins have manufactured in their system. The Mets on the other hand managed to get by on Thursday but the Fish got their revenge on Friday and I think they have some momentum here. I’ll side with the Marlins in this one.
