The New York Mets will play the Miami Marlins Saturday at 1:05 p.m. ET at the teams' shared spring training home, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter, Florida. Here's a look at the Mets and Marlins' starting lineups and starting pitchers for Saturday's Grapefruit League game.

The New York Mets will play the Miami Marlins Saturday at 1:05 p.m. ET at the teams' shared spring training home, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter, Florida.

Reigning 2022 American League Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander will make his highly anticipated Mets debut Saturday, as the Mets take on a division rival.

Jesus Luzardo will take the mound for the Marlins. Luzardo is coming off a career-best 3.32 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. Luzardo was acquired by the Marlins midway through the 2021 season in a trade in which the Oakland Athletics received outfielder Starling Marte. Luzardo was a highly touted prospect that struggled at the Major League level while pitching for Oakland. Luzardo posted a 6.61 ERA in 18 starts in 2021 with the A's.

Marlins fans will get a good look Saturday at the club's new lineup, with reigning American League batting champion Luis Arraez batting lead off. The Marlins acquired Arraez in a trade in which the club sent Pablo Lopez to the Minnesota Twins.
