Marlins vs. Mets MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Under in the first five innings. Valente Bellozo has had a very nice season for Miami in limited work thus far, with a 2.28 ERA and a WHIP of 0.94. On the other side, Paul Blackburn hasn’t had the greatest numbers so far for New York, but he is an established veteran that has a favorable matchup against a struggling Miami offense. Let’s cash this under early and not worry about either one of the bullpen’s possibly struggling.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: Under 4.5 F5
