Prediction
I think the Mets will take this one, given their strong pitching and potent offense. deGrom is likely to start for the Mets, and he's been dominant all season. The Marlins will likely counter with Alcantara, who has been solid but not spectacular. The Mets' offense should be able to capitalize on the Marlins' struggling bullpen and take the win.
