New York at Miami

New York opened the series with a 10-4 win yesterday hitting four homers. This offense was seventh in the majors last year in runs scored, eighth in on-base percentage, and 10th in slugging. Mets starters have a 2.95 ERA through four games and go with Kodai Senga, who had a 2.98 ERA and 202 strikeouts in 2023. An injury derailed his 2024 campaign but in three Grapefruit League starts (9 innings), he has looked sharp with a 2.00 ERA and nine strikeouts. Miami is off a season where it was outscored by 204 runs, the third-worst differential in the majors. Sandy Alcantara also missed last season after Tommy John surgery in 2023. He threw 91 pitches in the opener going 4+ innings with 4 walks (3.86 ERA). The Marlins' offense was 27th in runs last year, 28th in on-base percentage, and 24th in slugging. Play the New York Mets.
