Welcome to Friday’s Marlins (56-80, -93 RD) vs. Mets (87-51, +129 RD) game thread. The Mets come to town clinging to a half-game lead atop the NL East.

It’s the opening game of a new series, which means we’ve got free prop bets and an hour-long livestream with the Fish Stripes staff and special guests.

Notes: Would you believe that David Peterson ranks fourth on the Mets pitching staff with 110 strikeouts this season?...Lindor has hit especially well against Marlins pitching in 2022, slashing .333/.397/.719 with 10 extra-base hits and 17 runs batted in (14 games)...Old friend Starling Marte has been out since Tuesday with a fractured finger. I’d call his availability for this series questionable at best.
