From Rotoworld: Lugo yielded four runs in 5 2/3 innings Friday in a win over the Giants. Fortunately for him, Lugo didn’t need to be at his best tonight, and he obviously wasn’t in giving up seven hits and three walks to an awful Giants lineup that was minus Buster Posey. He has another somewhat advantageous matchup coming up against the Marlins, but he’s still a risky play in NL-only leagues right now.
Urena was outstanding in Friday’s victory over the Cubs, scattering five hits over six shutout innings. The right-hander walked three and struck out three on the night. He has been great through 14 starts for the Fish, compiling a 6-2 record, 3.33 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 44/27 K/BB ratio across 70 1/3 innings. He’ll look to replicate this fine performance when he does battle against the Mets on Thursday.
Bet Tonight’s Mets vs. Marlins Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Marlins are 6-1 in Urena’s last seven starts, are 4-0 in his last four home outings, and have won 14 of their last 19 games at home. On the other side, the Mets are just 2-5 in their lsat seven games after scoring five runs or more in their previous game and are 1-5 in their last six road games versus a team with a winning home record.
