New York at Miami

New York will look to win the series after splitting the first two games. Clay Holmes returns as a starter after finishing with a 3.14 ERA as a reliever with the Yankees last year. He started the season opener and allowed two earned runs in 4 2/3 innings against Houston. Only three Miami hitters have ever faced Holmes, totaling four at-bats. New York is 15-3 after scoring two or fewer runs, and Miami is 2-8 after allowing two or fewer runs dating to last season. New York has gotten good pitching, but the bats need to wake up, including Francisco Lindor, who is 1-for-15. New York has allowed 2.8 runs per game in 2025. Connor Gillispie will make his second career start. He gave up four runs (three earned) in five innings against Pittsburgh on Friday. Take the Mets.
