The New York Mets will attempt to extend their win streak to 3 games on Friday when they commence their weekend series with the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.
The Mets blanked the Braves 4-0 on Thursday to ensure their four-game series ended in a 2-2 tie. Pete Alonso was the hero of Game 4 as he recorded 3 hits, including an RBI single that gave New York a 2-0 lead in the 5th inning. Unfortunately, the win came with a price as Mets starter Griffin Canning suffered an ankle injury after logging 2.2 innings.
The Pirates have lost the last 2 games of their series with the Milwaukee Brewers, plunging the club to 32-50 – the worst record in the NL Central. Averaging 3.3 runs per game at PNC Park this season, Pittsburgh would have to produce more than its average of 3.0 runs at home to get them a chance against the Mets, whose offense has picked up in the past two games.

Our New York Mets vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Why should you pick Under 8.5 Runs (Win $100 on a $106 Bet) – Friday’s projected starter, David Peterson, pitched terribly in his last two starts, in which he had surrendered 8 earned runs over 11 innings pitched. However, Peterson has won his last two outings against the Pirates, including the recent one on May 12, in which he allowed 2 earned runs and struck out 7 batters to power the Mets to a 4-3 win over the Pirates. Pittsburgh will field another struggling hurler in Mitch Keller, who is 0-5 with a 4.80 ERA in his last five starts. Despite that, we have two slumping starters facing off on Friday, I highly doubt Game 1 will be a high-scoring affair since these two teams have combined 4.67 runs per game in their last 3 meetings. The Pirates' bullpen has been outstanding as of late with a sub-3.00 ERA over their last 5 games, while the Mets' reserve pitchers carry a 4.57 ERA in their last 5. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Pittsburgh's last 6 games when playing at home against the NY Mets.
Our betting prediction for the New York Mets vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates: Under 8.5 Runs
