The Marlins are hot, coming into tonight's game as winners of five straight. They host the division leaders New York, who have a losing record away from home so far. This looks like a great spot to back the home team.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - Jarred Cosart will be on the mound for Miami, and he's coming off his first win of the season. Cosart (1-1, 3.63 ERA) allowed one run on four hits over six innings in a win at Philly in his latest outing. The right-hander looked good in his only home start of the season, allowing just one run on three hits through six frames, but was saddled with a tough luck loss. The Mets counter with Dillon Gee, who hasn't looked sharp at all this season.

2. Giancarlo Stanton - He's 5-for-12 with a pair of home runs and five RBIs during the current home stand. Stanton led the NL with 37 home runs last season, the majority of those coming at Marlins Park.

3. X-Factor - The Mets are missing a couple of key players with David Wright and Travis d'Arnaud are on the DL.
