Mets-Marlins picks: Sunday, April 2

Mets
RHP Justin Verlander – right teres
LHP Jose Quintana – rib
RHP Bryce Montes de Oca – elbow
RHP Elieser Hernandez- shoulder

Marlins
LHP Steven Okert – left adductor
RHP Nic Enright – Hodgkin's lymphoma

Kodai Senga will make his debut for the Mets and Trevor Rogers will take the mound for the Marlins. Rodgers was 4-11 last season with a 5.47 ERA. Senga signed on with the Mets in the offseason after spending a decade in Nippon Professional Baseball.

The over has hit in 7 of the last 9 games between these two teams. Combine one pitcher with a high ERA and one pitcher making his MLB debut – the over seems like a safe bet on this one.

Pick: Over 7.5

The Mets have been able to win these games when they get plenty of hits – the games they won were decided 5-3 and 6-2, while the game they lost was decided 2-1. As they go up against Rogers, whose spring training ERA was 5.00, New York should be able to win this series and head home 3-1. Keep an eye on Senga's MLB debut.

Pick: Mets -120
