Nothing says “intense baseball” more than when these two teams get together. Most often it doesn’t even matter what the clubs’ records are, the disdain with which they view one another trumps all.
In this case, both teams come in playing well, so it should be an exciting three-game set.
MLB Baseball Betting Matchup:
New York Mets (2-1) at Florida Marlins (3-0)
Dolphin Stadium, Miami Gardens, FL (natural turf) — 6:10 PM ET

Right-handers go at it, as New York’s Livan Hernandez, the former Marlin favorite, goes up against Ricky Nolasco, who had a breakout season for Florida in 2008.
New York Yankees’ slugger Alex Rodriguez may be a bit of a fallen hero in Major League Baseball, but not in the Dominican Republic.
