The Marlins made it a game but ultimately the Mets did pull ahead Monday night.

New York comes into Tuesday night's game with just one loss so far.

The Tuesday line is New York -128, Miami +118.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets LH Jason Vargas (2018: 7-9, 5.77 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Jose Urena (0-1, 9.64)

Vargas struggled with multiple injuries throughout the first half of last season before flashing the form that made him an 18-game winner for Kansas City in 2017, finishing 5-1 with a 2.62 ERA over his last eight turns. Despite his chaotic year, the 36-year-old Long Beach State product was able to hold his own at Citi Field, going 4-4 with a 3.92 ERA across eight outings. Curtis Granderson is 7-for-14 versus Vargas, who permitted a total of two runs while winning both of his starts against Miami last season.

The Mets are 6-1 in Vargas' last 7 starts but they are also 0-5 in Vargas' last 5 road starts vs. a team with a losing record.

Urena's second Opening Day start was a forgettable one, taking a line drive off his left knee in the second inning before making his exit after surrendering six runs (five earned) in 4 2/3 frames of a loss to Colorado. The defeat snapped the six-game winning streak he forged at the end of last season in which he allowed fewer than two runs in six of his last seven outings. Michael Conforto is 7-for-19 with a home run against Urena, who went 2-2 with a 3.57 ERA in four starts versus the Mets in 2018.

We have seen this line move up from Mets -125 to -131.
