00:00Day baseball at City around a 4 p.m. Eastern time scheduled start

00:04as we have the Mets and the Marlins.

00:07Minus 290 price on New York.

00:09Down to yesterday, minus 275 favorite.

00:11They cashed that, winning by two, and even the run line.

00:14If you want to back the Mets on the run line,

00:16it's a run and a half at minus 122.

00:18Will they make it six straight today against the fifth?

00:20I believe they will.

00:21And again, a heavy favorite, they're supposed to do that.

00:23But understand this, too.

00:24You take a look at the Marlins.

00:25Where are they from?

00:25Miami.

00:25Yes, they play in a dome, but it's warm weather temperatures.

00:28You're just getting out of spring training.

00:29The last thing you want to do is come north to play in some brutally cold conditions,

00:32which you saw last night.

00:34No runs for the Marlins, only two for the New York Mets.

00:36Now, granted, Mets were one of ten with runners in scoring position last night.

00:40Certainly didn't help the cause, but they still got the win.

00:41That's what's most important.

00:43Afternoon game today, Ben, 42 degrees.

00:45Wind blowing in from left field, 19 miles per hour.

00:47So when you couple that 42 degrees with 20-mile-an-hour winds,

00:50it's going to be freezing cold once again.

00:52You take a look at the lineup here for the New York Mets,

00:54which has been decent this year against right-handed pitching.

00:57Conor Gillespie comes to town struggling against right-handed batters,

01:00something to keep an eye on.

01:01Maybe the polar bear today can get a hold of one.

01:03Again, polar bears in cold weather.

01:05Maybe that's why he can perform.

01:06You take a look at the Miami lineup going up against Clay Holmes,

01:09who last year, 319 batters faced.

01:11An 099 ISO and a weighted percentage of 288.

01:16You also look at what he's done this year, 46 batters.

01:18His ISO percentage, zero.

01:20I doubt you're going to be making a lot of hard contact today

01:22up at Citi Field in the cold temperatures.

01:24Yes, the Mets do win.

01:25Do I want to pay that much?

01:26No, I don't.

01:26Maybe even looking towards the under again as making sense

01:29because how many runs do the Marlins score in this game?
