Marlins vs Mets: Key Matchup to Watch This Season
Marlins vs Mets: Overview of Recent Performances
The last two weeks have not gone the Mets’ way. After hitting the road following a series win against the Twins, the Mets lost a series to the Angels, won a makeup game with the Cardinals, took two of three from the Rockies, got swept by the Mariners, and lost two of three of the Athletics, resulting in a 5-8 month thus far that needed to reverse if they wanted to make up ground in the Wild Card hunt.
Mets' Struggles and Recent Glimmers of Hope
- The Mets currently sit two games behind the Braves for the third Wild Card spot, being the coldest team in the top four.
- Despite recent performances, they managed to score 15 runs in the past two games with strong showings from Pete Alonso and Mark Vientos.
Marlins Overview and Current Roster
Miami has also gone 5-8 in August, but with new faces and role players. The roster is filled with young talent that historically weakens against the Mets.
Players to Watch in the Marlins vs Mets Showdown
- Jake Burger: Currently on a tear with eight home runs in August.
- Manaea: Will be tested against a potentially weaker Marlins lineup.
- Bellozzo: The newest addition to the Marlins' rotation is a player to keep an eye on.
