David Peterson will be making his third start for the Mets this season. He's 1-0 with a 3.09 ERA. More importantly, he's a lefty. The Marlins have the second-worst record in baseball. A big reason for that is their 3-19 mark against southpaws. The Marlins are last in slugging percentage and second-to-last in on-base percentage when facing left-handed pitching.

Expect the Mets to bounce back from a 4-2 Tuesday loss to Miami. The Mets had a letdown against the Marlins after defeating the Phillies this past Sunday in London. New York was idle this past Monday.

Peterson has a 2.06 career ERA against the Marlins in seven games, including six starts. Miami starter Braxton Garrett has a 5.81 ERA. He's 0-2 with a 4.91 ERA in eight career games against the Mets, including seven starts.
