Miami Marlins at New York Mets: Three Stories To Watch

Can Miami Capitalize On Theoretically Weaker Pitching? 

The last time the Miami Marlins played the Mets, they had to face both Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard.

That won’t be an issue in this one, as struggling Dark Knight Matt Harvey is the only big name threat the Fish will be facing. Basically, so far in 2017, he’s been the Dark Knight from the first three hours of The Dark Knight Rises. Not so much his Batman Begins, Dark Knight former self.

Of course, the last time the Marlins played the Mets, they beat deGrom and Syndergaard pretty handily. So perhaps this point is being overdrawn. But the Fish have a really nice opportunity here to get some separation from the Mets, and add on to an already impressive 5-2 record against one of the NL East’s elite teams.

Just look at it this way. If the Marlins win this series, they will have already matched their 2016 season total for victories against New York, just a week into May.

And on that happy thought, we wish you a joyous Cinco de Mayo. Soak up the rivalry weekend, and we’ll catch you next series.
