New York Mets vs Miami Marlins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 09/26/25

In this game, we will see the New York Mets take on the Miami Marlins. The Mets are one game up in the playoff race and will be looking to finish this series strong. On the mound today, we will see Brandon Sproat of the Mets and Sandy Alcantara of the Marlins. Sproat has pitched in 3 games this season, giving up 13 hits and 7 runs through 16 innings pitched. He struggled in 2 of 3 starts but looked great in the other. The big difference, he didn’t walk any batters when he pitched 6 innings and gave up 0 runs against the Texas Rangers. He may be in luck today as the Marlins rank 22^nd in the MLB with 475 walks this season. This means that he may be able to limit the walks while limiting runs since the Marlins rank 27^th in runs at home this season. I have a feeling that he will ride the momentum of the Mets to a good start.

For the Marlins, Alcantara will take the mound. Alcantara has struggled this season with a 5.48 ERA and a 10-12 record. He has gotten slightly better this month with a 4.12 ERA giving up 9 runs in 19.2 innings. I have a feeling that his struggles may continue today as the Mets are batting .264 with 37 runs over the past 6 games. The Mets are feeling motivated for the playoffs and this has been shown in their batting. The motivation does not stop there, the Mets bullpen has only given up 5 runs over the past 5 games. Overall, I think the Mets will rise to the occasion behind their young pitcher today. I am taking the Mets to win.
