The Mets’ up-and-down season continues, but at least they will head into this weekend with a bit more confidence after breaking a terrible seven-game losing streak with a solid 5-1 win yesterday afternoon. Japanese pitcher, Kodai Senga, had a great performance with only 2 hits and 1 run allowed in 7.0 innings of work.

Performances as such are what the Mets need to start getting back on track and to start climbing up in their division, especially considering they have quality pitchers like Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. They allow an average of 4.97 runs per game, which is incredible. At least offensively, they have managed to stay afloat, with an average of 4.61 runs scored and a collective AVG. of .242.

For this game, the Mets will have Venezuelan pitcher Carlos Carrasco on the mound. He has not had the best season so far and has allowed 4 runs in 5.0 innings of work in his most recent outing against the Atlanta Braves.

Starting pitcher: Carlos Carrasco (2-2, 5.94 ERA).

Despite its significant decline in performance over the last month, the Pirates team still enters this game with a positive record and tied with the Milwaukee Brewers at the top of the National League Central Division. The Pirates know that if they recover from yesterday’s loss and get back on track to win, they could finish the weekend as the sole leader of their zone.

Playing at home may not make a big difference for the Pirates in this match, as they have a record of 17 wins and 16 losses at home. They have also allowed an average of 4.43 runs per game and have a collective ERA of 4.58.

The Pirates will have Mitch Keller on the mound today, who has had a decent season but is currently going through a bit of a slump, allowing a total of 15 earned runs in his last 17.1 innings pitched (three starts).

With Carrasco and Keller both struggling, and both offenses showing their power in this series, they are likely to have difficulties from the start. Therefore, a line of -140 ($71 profit for every $100 bet) on the Over 0.5 runs in the first inning offered by DraftKings is an interesting alternative for betting on this match.

Starting pitcher: Mitch Keller (7-2, 3.60 ERA).

El Jefe’s Prediction on New York Mets vs Pittsburgh Pirates

Despite their problems, the Mets have continued to swing the bat well in the last week. They will have a good chance to do the same here against a vulnerable Keller, who has struggled in his recent appearances.

On the other hand, the Pirates have also shown that they have the necessary assets to do damage on offense and will have a chance to prove it against Carrasco, who has not lived up to expectations this year.

With both starters not inspiring much confidence and the offenses coming in hot, we expect to see an entertaining game full of runs, or at least enough to cover the Over of 9 runs at the line of -120 (winning $83 for every $100 bet) offered by DraftKings.
