Miami Marlins vs New York Mets Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/27/25, 12:54 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 10/2/25 at 6:42 PM in MLB Picks

Incredibly, the odds of the Mets, the team with the hottest start in MLB, making the playoffs don't depend entirely on the New York team. In fact, after the Reds' victory over the Brewers on Friday and the Mets' loss to the Marlins, the odds show the Mets' postseason chances are now less than 50%, given that the Reds won the home series against the Mets.

If there's one team that can be confident heading into 2026, it's the Marlins, who will likely finish the season as the hottest team in MLB. No one could have predicted that the mathematical elimination of this Marlins team would come just three games from the end of the season. Winning the game 6-2 at LoanDepot Park, this young Marlins team has won 13 games in the month and eight of its last 10.

The Mets' starting pitching stopped working as well as it did at the beginning of the season. Mendoza went with Sproat for Game 1 against the Marlins, but things didn't go well for him; Sproat allowed four earned runs.

As for the Mets' bats, Lindor stood out in this key game with his 31st home run of the season, followed by an RBI double by Alonso that drove in Soto. However, after that inning, Alcántara, the former Cy Young hitter, regained his best form in the Mets' least favorable game
