After a seesaw affair on Opening Day that saw the Mets knock off the Marlins 5-3, Miami was able to get in the win column with a 1-0 victory on Friday. We should see another solid pitching matchup on Saturday, with Taylor MeGill taking the mound for New York and Eduardo Cabrera getting the ball for the Marlins at loanDepot Park in Miami.

The first pitch for this game is set for 4:10 p.m. and the consensus odds currently have the Mets as slight -120 favorites on the money line for this NL East clash. Let’s dive into our expert’s Mets vs. Marlins predictions, with odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.

After an impressive effort against 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara on Friday, the Mets lineup went completely silent on Friday against Jesus Luzardo and the Miami bullpen. New York registered just four hits in Friday’s 2-1 loss, while the Marlins mustered just two runs across the board despite finishing with 10 hits.

It remains to be seen whether we have another low-scoring affair on our hands or if the offenses will start to round into form as each hitter gets more at-bats under their belt. However, no matter how each lineup shows up, our expert is comfortable with fading Eduardo Cabrera. That’s why we’re targeting the Mets money line for our Mets vs. Marlins prediction on Saturday at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Our expert expects the Mets bats to wake up in this one after getting blanked by the Marlins pitching staff yesterday 1-0. That’s why our experts are all over the Mets money line.

But also we are intrigued by the run total in this one which is set at 8 with (-105) odds on the over and (-115) on the under. We look for the over to hit in this one, as the bats should wake up on both sides.
