After a six-game homestand, New York heads out on the road where they're on a 3-8 run. The Mets wind down a disappointing season ranked 20th in runs scored, 17th in on-base percentage, and 18th in slugging, while the pitching is 19th (4.35 ERA) including a relief staff that is 22nd in ERA (4.53) and 21st in WHIP. Jose Butto doesn't last long in games as he's walked 18 in 26 innings. The Mets are 16-40 as an underdog, including 8-27 as a road dog. Meanwhile, Miami plays its fourth straight home game after sweeping the Braves, the best team in baseball, 9-6, 11-5, and 16-2. Starter Edward Cabrera is 6-0 at home this season with a 2.61 ERA holding batters to a .191 average. He has 53 Ks in 38 innings at home, so back home field. Play Miami.
