Prediction published on 6/29/25, 9:38 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 2/3/26 at 8:46 AM in MLB Picks

The Pittsburgh Pirates will go for their fourth consecutive win and a rare sweep over the New York Mets in Sunday’s series finale at PNC Park.

After putting on a dominant show in the first two games, the Pirates have now set their sights on securing a three-game sweep of the Mets on their home turf. Averaging 3.3 runs per game on a .231 BA, Pittsburgh posted back-to-back games with 9 runs each. This bumped up their run production over the last five games to 5.9 runs per game on a .287 BA. The Pirates continued to be impeccable from the mound, sporting a 3.77 ERA in their last five assignments.

The Mets have now lost their last four head-to-head games with the Pirates, but the last three defeats left them in total embarrassment because Pittsburgh dominated them on the mound. New York still sits at No.2 in the NL East with a 48-36 record, 0.5 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies, 48-35.
