Temperatures will be in the mid-to-low 60s by the time first pitch rolls around.
The probable pitching matchup features Noah Syndergaard for the Mets and Gerrit Cole for the Bucs. Oddsmakers have pegged the total at 7.

The Houston Astros have won all four of their road starts this season when Collin McHugh takes the bump this season. The right-hander is has posted a 2-0 record with a 3.08 ERA away from Minute Maid Park.
McHugh has only surrendered one home run and nine runs during 26.1 innings of work in those games.

Cubs bettors enjoying brilliant May from Lester

Lester has recorded wins over the Milwaukee Brewers (-182), St. Louis Cardinals (+117), New York Mets (-145) and Pittsburgh Pirates (-102) and will go for number five when the Cubs visit the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday.
The Cubbies are presently -139 on the moneyline and the total has come down to 8 from the opening 8.5.
Alvarez still winless on the season
Henderson Alvarez will take to the mound for the Miami Marlins Friday trying to get his first win of the season. In the right-handers three starts this season he is 0-3 with a 6.23 ERA while surrendering more hits (22) than innings pitched (17.1).
Though Alvarez has struggled, he has received little run support with the Marlins cashing in six runs in those three starts.
The Marlins are +100 when they host the Orioles Friday.
Lack of offense has Red Sox on a tear for Under bettors
The Texas Rangers defeated the Boston Red Sox by a score of 3-1 Thursday evening, making it eight consecutive scorelines finishing under the closing total for the BoSox.
The Sox have struggled getting runners across the plate over that stretch, scoring just 15 runs in the past eight games (1.9 runs per game). They've been shutout once and mustered just one run in three of those games.
The eight-game Under streak has the Red Sox as the seventh best under club in the bigs at 18-22-1.
Boston will open a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels at Fenway Park Friday. Rick Porcello is the probable starter for the home team, while the Angels are slated to counter with Garrett Richards. The total is presently tabbed at 8.
Marlins lose seventh-straight game as fave
The Miami Marlins are mired in a seven game losing skid and have been pegged as favorites in each of those matchups.
The Fish fell to the Arizona Diamondbacks by a score of 7-6 Thursday evening, making it the second consecutive series in which they've been swept.
The recent drought as the Marlins second-last in our Money Standings at $-1261. Only the Oakland A's are worse at $-2051.
The Marlins host the Baltimore Orioles Friday evening and are presently +103 home dogs.
