Marlins' Pitching Staff Faces Big Test at Citi Field
Janson Junk takes the mound for Miami today. He's stepping into a hostile environment at Citi Field. The Mets' batters have been absolutely dangerous this weekend. They scored six runs yesterday and nine the night before. Junk needs to throw strikes and keep hitters off balance. The Marlins' pitching has been hit hard during this losing streak. Sandy AlcĂĄntara is the ace Miami counts on to turn things around. Depth arms like Max Meyer and Chris Paddack must step up. Pete Fairbanks closes games with high velocity. This staff can bounce back with a strong outing today.

The Mets' lineup is clicking right now. They've scored 15 runs in their last two games at home. Nolan McLean starts for New York today. He'll face a Marlins team desperate to stop the bleeding. Watch for Mets hitters to be aggressive early. Miami's defense has struggled this weekend too. One mistake from Junk could turn into multiple runs. The Mets want to keep this winning streak alive. A third straight victory would be huge for their confidence heading into June. This is the kind of game where New York's momentum takes over.
