Miami Marlins vs New York Mets Prediction: Mets to even the series

LoanDepot Park will host the MLB game two between the Miami Marlins and New York Mets. The Marlins took the lead in this series. Can the Mets pick something in this one?

The Miami Marlins did what was needed in the opener of this series, securing a 6-4 win. However, the prior series to this one ended poorly for this side, as they could only salvage a win in the finale to avoid a sweeping defeat against the Cincinnati Reds. In that series, this side lost the opener 7-4 and lost 10-6 in game 2. Yet, the Miami Marlins have a 34-63 record in baseball this season and are seated in the bottom spot of the National League.

The Mets are the better team in this fixture, but they were disappointed in the opener. However, with that defeat, the New York Mets have lost two matches in a row, one other coming in their finale against the Colorado Rockies. However, the prior series to this saw them defeat the Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates, securing wins in games 1 and 2 and sweeping the Washington Nationals. Heading into this game 2, the New York Mets are seated 7th in the National League standings with a 49-47 record. 

Take the New York Mets in this game 2. The Miami Marlins did start the series with a win, but they have not shown themselves as a side that can be trusted. Regardless, this could be a tight encounter, but the New York Mets are ahead and have the better chance, according to the bookies, and should be able to get the job done.
