Miami Marlins vs New York Mets Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 4/7/25, 4:02 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

The Mets are coming off a three-game sweep of the Blue Jays for the first time since 2001 in a three-game series at City Field, allowing only three runs in 27 innings. Game 3 was the only game of the series where the Mets managed to outhit the Blue Jays, though it was only seven. Alonso and Nimmo drove in the two runs to win the series as they prepare to host the Marlins on Monday.

The Marlins' game against the Braves on Sunday was postponed, so Alcantara didn't pitch, and he won't pitch Monday against the Mets either. He will be placed on the disabled list and travel back to Miami. The pitching duel for Game 1 of the series will therefore be between Gillispie for the Marlins and Senga for the Mets.

The Japanese ace already had his first start of the season against the Marlins in Miami. He struck out 8 in 5 innings but allowed 2 ERs. However, the Mets would end up losing that game, with Senga taking the L.

On the other hand, Gillespie, the 27-year-old right-hander, had a solid first start in Miami against the Mets at LoanDepot Park, pitching 5 complete innings and striking out 6.
