Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Miss Fortune have a slight edge in short trades due to your E shield and Q poke, but Sylas's level 3 is a genuine kill threat with his chain-root into E dash combo, so respect it.
Post-6, your R empowers your kit significantly — RW tether or RE root can set up Miss Fortune's R for a lane-winning play, but Sylas stealing Miss Fortune's R is a hard counter to that plan, so you must be aware of his R cooldown.

Use your Q to poke Jinx and Sylas in lane, then when one is low enough, land your E on Miss Fortune to shield her and boost her movement speed, and follow with a RE root to lock down a target for her Q or R.
Do not use your W tether offensively unless you are confident Sylas cannot interrupt it with his E dash, as he will break the tether and punish you immediately.

You should generally not roam in this matchup because Miss Fortune has no reliable self-peel against Sylas's all-in, and leaving her alone against Sylas and Jinx is a near-guaranteed death.
If you do roam, only do so after a successful shove that puts the wave crashing into their tower, and only if Sylas is visibly low or has burned his E.

Do not waste your E reactively on yourself when Sylas engages — prioritize shielding Miss Fortune if she is the one being dived, as she is the primary damage threat and losing her means losing the fight.
Also, avoid standing clustered with Miss Fortune, as Sylas's Q chain and Jinx's W slow will hit both of you simultaneously.
