Florida is getting some respect with this betting number, but why? The Marlins are in last place and 6-20 in their last 26 overall. Starter Clay Hensley is 2-5 with a 5.40 ERA and in his last three starts have been worse with a 7.80 ERA. Florida is 1-5 his last six starts. The Marlins are also 2-10 in their last 12 vs. a team with a losing record. New York is in the middle of the pack in this tough division, close to .500, and the offense has been decent, No. 13 in runs scored, No. 7 in batting average and fourth in on-base percentage. Miguel Batista gets a fresh start, called up from Triple A, and the Mets are 5-1 in their last six against the National League East. Play the Mets.
