Marlins vs Mets MLB Betting Preview
Yeah, the Mets have struggled this season. Meanwhile, Janson Junk is coming off a big bounce-back outing, spinning five innings of one-run ball against the Blue Jays after allowing 19 innings across his prior three starts.
However, I’m going to zag.
I think the Mets will eventually return to form, and I expect more struggles for Junk in the future.
Perhaps that starts on Sunday.
Marlins vs Mets Pick, Betting Analysis
Juan Soto is starting to heat up, with 12 home runs and a .977 OPS. He also is 1-for-2 lifetime off Junk.
I expect Soto to deliver in a big way on Sunday.
Pick: Juan Soto 2+ Hits
