An NL East matchup features the New York Mets (61-37) and the Miami Marlins (47-52) clashing on Friday, with the first pitch set for 6:40 p.m. ET. New York is listed as the slight -120 favorite (risk $120 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Mets vs. Marlins odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under for total runs scored is 6.5 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page).

Before making any Mets vs. Marlins picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is 284-243 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season, returning over $400 for $100 players. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.

The model knows New York center fielder Brandon Nimmo has been a sound athlete with smooth hitting and run-producing skills. Nimmo is a reliable defender with the speed to cover a lot of ground. The 29-year-old is currently hitting .262 with nine home runs and 33 RBIs. Nimmo's been a consistent playmaker for this club.

The model has also considered that Miami has a Cy Young candidate in Sandy Alcantara on the mound. The 26-year old righty has a 9-4 record with a sparkling 1.81 ERA and a WHIP of 0.90. He's only given up more than two earned runs in two starts all season, so if the Marlins can get him just a bit of run support, they'll have a great chance to win as slight home underdogs. 

Now, the model has set its sights on Mets vs. Marlins. We can tell you the model is leaning Over the total, and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value. You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
