After the Mets went 2-5 against the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies over the last week, three games in Miami with the Marlins could be just what they need to get their season back on track.
At 13-32 (.289), the Marlins have the worst record in the majors and clearly there’s nothing fluky about it. Statistically, they are among the very worst teams in MLB in both pitching and hitting.
Oh, and they recently traded their best hitter, Luis Arraez, to the San Diego Padres for prospects, as their GM, Peter Bendix, essentially admitted he was already raising the white flag, saying publicly these Marlins had no chance of turning their season around and become post-season contenders.
