Pick
I’m backing the Mets here. The Marlins are a solid group, but the problem once again for the Fish continues to be run support for their starting pitcher and I’m worried that could be a cause for concern against the Mets here as well Kodai Senga looked really good in his debut and I think he could be in line for another solid appearance here. Give me the Mets.
