Harrison Bader, the center fielder, has been performing well with a .265 batting average, 1 home run, and 7 RBI. Starling Marte, the right fielder, has also been a consistent contributor with a .255 batting average, 4 home runs, and 15 RBI. Jeff McNeil, the second baseman, has shown his skills with a .236 batting average, 1 home run, and 8 RBI.

Jesús Sánchez, the right fielder, has contributed with a .231 batting average, 2 home runs, and 18 RBI.

In terms of injuries, the Mets might be without Brandon Nimmo, their left fielder, who is dealing with a stomach bug and is unlikely to play. On the other hand, the Marlins will be missing Tim Anderson, their shortstop, who is out with lower-back tightness and is expected to return in late May.

Looking at the overall records, the Mets have a slightly better record with 20 wins and 23 losses, while the Marlins have struggled with a record of 13 wins and 32 losses. However, it's important to note that past records don't always determine future outcomes.
