New York at Miami

The Miami Marlins have certainly made a lot of progress, and while they have kept themselves around the wildcard race in the NL, they have slipped to 6.5 games behind, and are fading quickly. The story may have been different if Jose Fernandez didn't go down with an injury early on. The Mets have played better at 18-19 over their last 37 games, and one reason is today's starting pitcher, Zack Wheeler. Wheeler was 3-8 back in late June with a 4.45 ERA, but has really matured into a bonafide starter, evening his record at 9-9 on the season while lowering his ERA to 3.44. Wheeler has come up big having allowed two runs or less in 10 of his last 11 starts, and he has become quite the stopper leading the Mets to a 5-0 mark in his last five starts following a team loss. Play on New York.
