Miami Marlins

As the Miami Marlins prepare to face the New York Mets on September 27, 2025, both teams find themselves in the middle of the pack with records of 78-82 and 82-78, respectively. While neither team is currently contending for a playoff spot, every game counts as they look to finish the season strong. In their previous matchup, the Mets emerged victorious, adding to the pressure for the Marlins to bounce back.

On the mound, the Marlins are set to start Eury Perez, who has had an average season with a 7-5 record and a 4.20 ERA. Although his xERA of 3.24 suggests he may have been unlucky and could improve, he projects to pitch only 4.5 innings today, allowing 2.4 earned runs while striking out 4.8 batters. This might not be enough against a powerful Mets offense that ranks 6th in MLB, boasting 223 home runs this season.

Clay Holmes will take the mound for the Mets, bringing an 11-8 record and a solid 3.66 ERA. However, his 4.22 xFIP indicates he might have benefitted from some good fortune this year. He projects to pitch 5.4 innings, allowing 2.3 earned runs, but with a concerning average of 5.2 hits allowed.

The Marlins’ offense ranks 19th overall but is bolstered by their 11th ranking in batting average. In contrast, the Mets’ offense is among the best, ranking 6th in MLB. With the game total set at 8.5 runs, the projections suggest a close contest, but the Mets’ power could give them the edge in this matchup. Miami’s struggles against high-flyball pitchers like Perez may play a significant role in the outcome, especially against a lineup that can capitalize on those opportunities.

New York Mets Insights

• New York Mets – Moneyline (-130)
  The New York Mets infield defense projects as the 3rd-worst out of all the teams playing today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Brandon Nimmo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)
  Brandon Nimmo has negatively regressed with his Barrel% recently; his 9.1% seasonal rate has fallen to 0% in the past week.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• New York Mets – Moneyline (-130)
  The New York Mets projected lineup grades out as the 2nd-best on the slate in terms of overall batting ability.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Miami Marlins Insights

• Miami Marlins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline
  Eury Perez is an extreme flyball pitcher (43.6% FB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) and has the benefit of pitching in the #25 HR venue in MLB in this game.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Liam Hicks – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+135)
  Liam Hicks has been cold in recent games, with his seasonal exit velocity of 84.6-mph dropping to 78.8-mph over the last 7 days.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Miami Marlins – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Miami Marlins’ bullpen projects as the 5th-worst out of all the teams in the game.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
