This matchup features two struggling teams looking to build momentum, but Miami enters with significant advantages. The Marlins have captured the first two games of this series, outscoring the Mets 6-2 while showing renewed life at home. Tyler Phillips makes his latest start for Miami, though his limited recent work (averaging just 29 pitches per outing) suggests he may not go deep into the game. His fastball sits in the mid-90s with a diverse mix including a splitter and curveball, but his inexperience at this level remains a concern against a Mets lineup anchored by Juan Soto. Christian Scott brings superior stuff to the mound for New York, featuring a plus fastball that touches 98 mph and solid secondary offerings. His recent starts show better durability than Phillips, consistently throwing 80+ pitches. However, Scott faces a Miami lineup that has found its groove lately, particularly Xavier Edwards (.309 average) and Otto Lopez (.340 average), who have provided unexpected offensive production. The Mets' injury crisis continues to decimate their roster - Francisco Lindor, Francisco Alvarez, and Luis Robert Jr. are all sidelined, forcing them to rely heavily on depth pieces and recent call-ups. Miami's bullpen situation appears more stable despite their overall struggles, while the Mets just designated closer Craig Kimbrel for assignment, creating uncertainty in late-inning situations. The weather conditions favor offense with 87-degree temperatures and clear skies, though the southeast wind at 12 mph could affect fly balls. The Marlins' two-game winning streak and superior home record (17-15 vs 11-17 road for NYM) provide additional edges in what should be a competitive but low-scoring affair between two rebuilding clubs.

Game Preview

Christian Scott takes the mound for the Mets with their season hanging in the balance, but Miami strikes first when Xavier Edwards leads off the bottom of the first with a sharp single and comes around to score on Otto Lopez's RBI double. Scott settles in after the early damage, using his mid-90s fastball to retire the side in order in the second inning. Tyler Phillips matches Scott early, working around a Juan Soto single in the second inning by inducing a double play. The game remains quiet until the fourth, when the Marlins manufacture another run as Lopez draws a walk and scores on a Kyle Stowers sacrifice fly. Phillips begins to labor in the fifth, walking two batters before Christian Scott helps his own cause with an RBI single to cut the deficit in half. The pivotal sixth inning sees Phillips exit after loading the bases with one out. Miami's bullpen escapes the jam but not before surrendering the tying run on a Marcus Semien sacrifice fly. The Marlins respond immediately in the bottom half, with Edwards and Lopez setting the table again before a Christopher Morel two-run double puts Miami ahead 4-2. The Marlins add an insurance run in the eighth on a Brett Baty error, while the Mets manage one final run on a Soto RBI single but fall short of completing the comeback, giving Miami a satisfying series sweep.

The 67% confidence reflects Miami's strong recent form and home-field advantage, but acknowledges Phillips' inexperience and the Mets' talent edge on paper despite their injuries. The series momentum heavily favors the Marlins.

George Kirby pati peti poraz protiv Metsa

Kirbyjev ERA od 3,77 i K/9 od 7,18 ostaju čvrsti, ali četiri zaslužena broja u četiri inninginga u srijedu signaliziraju nedavne probleme u sezoni u kojoj je zabilježio xwOBA od 0,294. Seattle (21-40) zaostaje za 11,5 igara u AL Westu s ograničenim prostorom za neučinkovitost rotacije.

Mets igraju 12 utakmica s dodatnim inningima; tri više od bilo kojeg drugog tima

NYM (26-34, -14 run diff) je 4-6 u posljednjim 10 i 11-19 u gostima—utakmice s dodatnim inningima otkrivaju dubinu bullpena i skraćuju odmor, što pogoršava njihovu već slabu razliku trčanja. Harrison (1.57 ERA, 15 SO u 14.2 IP) suočava se s timom MIL dok Gausman (3.13 ERA, K/9 8.61) suprotstavlja startere Bravesa Elder (2.50 ERA) i Sale (2.02 ERA) u susretu koji pogoduje elitnoj rotaciji Atlanty.

Mets biraju Cionela Pereza, označavaju Andersona Severina

Petersonova ERA od 5,57 i njegov rekord 0-4 u 5 početaka opravdavaju pokrete dubine rotacije, iako Perezova izvedba u Triple-A ostaje nedostupna za procjenu neposrednog utjecaja. New York sjedi na 24-33 s razlikom od -27 trčanja i treblja stabilnost rotacije iza Peraltine ERA od 3,54.

Manaea preuzima Petersonovo mjesto u rotaciji Metsa

Petersonova ERA od 5,57 i njegov rekord od 0-4 u 5 startova opravdavaju zamjenu, iako Manaea stiže s ERA od 5,56 i bez innings-a ove sezone—NYM ostaje na 23-33 (-29 razlika u trkama) tražeći stabilnost rotacije iza Peraltine ERA od 3,52.

Raysi Potpisuju Vanjskog Igrača Austina Slatera na Sporazum Minor League

Slater (.209 AVG, .233 xwOBA u 2026.) se pridružuje četvrtoj organizaciji Tampa Bay-a ove sezone nakon što ga je Mets odbio. Raysi (34-17, +38 razlika trčanja) dodaju dubinu na ros koji vodi AL East.

Hernández: 2 HR, 3 RBI u pobjedu Marlins-a nad Nationals

Hernándezova noć s dva homeruna prekinula je niz od četiri poraza Miamija i donijela je Marlins njihovu prvu pobjedu u pet domacih utakmica (18-15). Bacanje Washingtona dozvolilo je 330 tecaja ove sezone (najgore u NL East), sto čini njihov rekord 31-30 iznenađujuće otpornim s obzirom na omjer pobjeda od 0,508.

Marlins biraju Brzykcy i Zubera iz Triple-A

Miami dodaje dubinu rotaciji koja se bori s izdržljivošću (Junk 4,80 ERA, 3-5 rekord; Alcantara 4,66 ERA) dok stoji 26-34 i 0-8 u gostujućim igrama tijekom svojih posljednjih pet utakmica.

Miami Marlins

Marlins biraju Zacha Brzykcy'a

Brzykcy ulazi u rotaciju Miami koju trenutno vodi Meyer (ERA 2.97, 5-0) ali koja se u velikoj mjeri oslanja na Alcantaru (ERA 4.66) i Junka (ERA 4.80, 3-5). Potez se bavi dubinom rotacije dok Miami stoji na 26-33 s razlikom u trkama od -20.

Janson Junk: Neće početi, može ići na IL

Junk (ERA 4,80, 3-5) izlazi iz rotacije Miamija u nedjelju protiv NYM; s Euryjem Pérezom već ozlijeđenim (naprezanje gracilisa), Marlins suočavaju dubinski problem u već krhkoj rotaciji. Rotacija Miamija bila bi jako ovisna o preostalim starterstima ako Junk ide na IL.

Eury Pérez

Miami Marlins

Eury Pérez će biti odsutan osam tjedana zbog ozljede mišića

Pérezov ERA od 4,60 i njegov rekord od 3-6 činio su ga ranjivim u rotaciji Miami, ali njegov K/9 od 10,34 u 62,2 IP čini Marlins slabijima iza Maxa Meyera (2,52 ERA, 5-0). Josh Ekness (1,69 ERA, ograničeni uzorak) nasljeđuje ulogu četvrtog startera u rotaciji koju su već usidjerili Meyer i Alcántara (4,66 ERA, 3-4).
