The Mets (55-49) head south for the sunny beaches of Miami as they square off for four against the Marlins (44-61). Through August, these two division rivals have somehow only played five games against each other, with the Mets splitting two—including winning their home opener—at Citi Field while losing two of three at the comically-named loanDepot Park.
The Mets are coming off a series loss against the Reds. On blackout Friday night, the return of the black jerseys hardly brought back the magic of the late 90s/early 2000s as the Mets fell 6-2.
