Pittsburgh Pirates @ New York Mets Preview

The New York Mets (26-15) are coming off a strong 6-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs, while the Pittsburgh Pirates (14-27) edged out the Atlanta Braves 4-3 in their last outing. The Mets have been dominant as favorites this season, winning 20 of their 30 games in such situations. Meanwhile, the Pirates have struggled to find consistency, particularly against stronger opponents. With the Mets' Brett Baty on a two-game home run streak, their offense looks poised to capitalize on the Pirates' pitching vulnerabilities.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last 10 meetings, the Mets have had the upper hand, winning 7 of those matchups. The Pirates have struggled to contain the Mets' offense, allowing an average of 5.2 runs per game in these contests. Additionally, the Mets have been particularly effective on the road against the Pirates, winning 4 of their last 5 games at PNC Park.

Pick: Mets Moneyline (-140)

The Mets are the clear favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. Their recent form, combined with their dominance in head-to-head matchups, makes them a strong pick. The Pirates' inconsistent pitching and lack of offensive firepower further tilt the scales in favor of the Mets. Backing the Mets on the moneyline at -140 offers solid value.

Top Player Prop Picks

Brett Baty Over 0.5 Home Runs (+400)

Baty is on a two-game home run streak and is seeing the ball exceptionally well. With the Pirates' pitching staff struggling to keep the ball in the park, Baty is a strong candidate to go deep again.

Francisco Lindor Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)

Lindor has been a consistent contributor for the Mets, and his ability to hit for extra bases makes this prop appealing. Against a Pirates pitching staff that has allowed plenty of hits, Lindor should have opportunities to exceed this line.

David Peterson Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-110)

Peterson has been a strikeout machine for the Mets, and the Pirates' lineup has been prone to striking out frequently. This line is achievable given Peterson's recent performances and the Pirates' offensive struggles.
