Mets vs Marlins Key Matchups and Game Preview
Mets Starting Pitching
New York will send right-hander Robert Stock to the mound, and his numbers make this a difficult handicap despite the Mets' recent form. Stock is 1-3 with a 5.81 ERA and 1.75 WHIP through 26.1 innings, allowing 33 hits and 13 walks with 25 strikeouts.

Marlins Team Pitching
The Marlins have the better overall pitching profile with a 4.02 team ERA and 1.27 WHIP compared with New York's 4.12 ERA and 1.30 WHIP, and that edge becomes more important with Stock carrying such a high WHIP into this matchup.
