New York Mets (66-78) at Miami Marlins (72-73) — Game Preview
The New York Mets (66-78) head to loanDepot park to face the Miami Marlins (72-73), with both National League East clubs well out of playoff position this late in the season. Juan Soto continues to anchor the middle of the Mets order from left field, hitting .276 with 23 home runs and 56 RBIs. Bo Bichette has driven in 72 runs from third base to go with 16 home runs and a .266 average, and Carson Benge has settled in at the top of the order hitting .275 with a .335 on-base percentage and a .415 slugging mark.
Miami counters with Otto Lopez, who is hitting .301 with a .338 on-base percentage, a .438 slugging percentage, 10 home runs and 63 RBIs from shortstop. Heriberto Hernandez supplies pop behind him, with 24 home runs and 63 RBIs even though his average sits at .228. New York will also be without closer Devin Williams, who remains on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain, adding strain to an already thin bullpen.

Players to Watch: New York Mets vs. Miami Marlins
New York Mets
Juan Soto — LF. Soto continues to anchor the middle of the Mets order, hitting .276 with 23 home runs and 56 RBIs. He gives New York a legitimate power threat even as the club plays out the string in September.
Bo Bichette — 3B. Bichette has driven in 72 runs from the hot corner this season, adding 16 home runs and a .266 average along the way. His bat has provided steady middle-of-the-order production even as the Mets’ record has slipped.
Carson Benge — RF. Benge has emerged as a reliable presence at the top of the Mets order, hitting .275 with a .335 on-base percentage and a .415 slugging mark. His ability to get on base gives New York’s lineup some balance behind the power bats.
Miami Marlins
Otto Lopez — SS. Lopez has put together a well-rounded season for Miami, hitting .301 with a .338 on-base percentage and a .438 slugging percentage from shortstop. He has also driven in 63 runs and added 10 home runs, giving the Marlins production across the stat line.
Heriberto Hernandez — LF. Hernandez supplies pure power from left field, launching 24 home runs and driving in 63 runs this season. His .228 average reflects the swing-and-miss tradeoff that comes with that kind of pop, but the production has been real for Miami’s lineup.
