Miami at New York

Miami enjoyed a brief few weeks when it got close to the .500 mark, but now the Marlins are drifting back to mediocrity or worse after losing 13 of 18, including being defeated by a combined 23-3 score in their last two games against Atlanta. New York has won seven of the past 10 meetings, and the Mets have won five of their past six games after sweeping a three-game series against first-place Philadelphia while scoring 25 runs. The Mets are 44-24 at home this season, including a current 5-0 run at Citi Field. New York has won Clay Holmes' past three starts, and he has allowed three runs on eight hits in 11 1/3 innings in his past two outings. The Mets have some momentum, having climbed to within four games of the Phillies while tying for a wild-card spot. Take the Mets.
