Welcome to Sunday’s Marlins (12-31) vs. Mets (20-24) game thread.

Throughout the 2019 season, Fish Stripes is your home for daily Fish Picks prop bets. The monthly points leader for May, June, etc. wins Fish Stripes merchandise prizes. For example, new KKKKKKKaleb shirts!

The Fish Picks leaderboard will update daily to let you know where you stand.

Mets Lineup

  1. LF Jeff McNeil
  2. 3B J.D. Davis
  3. 2B Robinson Canó
  4. 1B Pete Alonso
  5. RF Brandon Nimmo
  6. SS Adeiny Hechavarría
  7. CF Juan Lagares
  8. C Tomás Nido
  9. P Noah Syndergaard (4.74 ERA, 3.61 FIP, 25.6 K%, 32.1 Hard Hit% in 57.0 IP)

Notes: Nobody is on a hotter seat than Mickey Callaway. This could the final visit that he makes to Marlins Park as Mets manager, especially if they suffer the humiliation of a sweep at the hands of a franchise that hasn’t completed a sweep of any opponent in the past 20 months.

Marlins Lineup

  1. CF Jon Berti
  2. RF Garrett Cooper
  3. 3B Brian Anderson
  4. 1B Neil Walker
  5. 2B Starlin Castro
  6. LF Curtis Granderson
  7. SS Miguel Rojas
  8. C Chad Wallach
  9. P Sandy Alcantara (5.11 ERA, 5.24 FIP, 14.1 K%, 28.6 Hard Hit% in 44.0 IP)

Notes: Sandy must miss more bats with the premium stuff he has. It’s becoming increasingly hard to justify keeping him in the Marlins rotation rather than extending an opportunity to Zac Gallen or Elieser Hernandez...Jorge Alfaro (mild left calf strain) hopes to avoid the injured list. Keep in mind that he and Wallach are the only catchers on the Marlins 40-man roster; an IL stint would require a corresponding move to create room for a third-stringer—presumably Bryan Holaday—to come up...More Marlins storylines and entertainment included in the weekly Christian Cevallos “Our Noticias” roundup.
