Free MLB Pick
The Marlins have packed it in and are just playing out the string winning only two of their last 10 games. The Mets send out Jon Niese who hasn’t had his best stuff in recent games against Miami but has allowed zero runs in his last two road starts covering 15 2/3 innings. Mets backers have cashed in seven of the 11 games played between these two teams in 2015 and should make that eight after tonight against an uninterested Miami.
