The Miami Marlins have gone OVER in eight of their past nine outings, with the Fins and their opponents averaging a combined 11 runs per game in that span. This streak has been thanks – in large part – to the Marlins’ inability to stop runs as they have allowed 6.9 rpg in their past nine games. Miami kicks off a three-game set with the New York Mets Monday.
If Tom Koehler wants to survive against the suddenly popping bats of the Mets he will need to survive the first inning. Koehler has a 7.31 ERA in the Sportsbook frame this season and has allowed eight combined runs in the first inning of his past two starts.
The first couple months of the season were not kind to Matt Harvey, but The Dark Knight started to show his ace-caliber pitching through June. Harvey posted a 2.83 ERA through his five starts in June and – maybe even better news for Mets’ fans – he did not allow a single home run in that span.
