The Mets' massive offseason investment failed to translate into on-field victories; in the meantime, they terminated manager Carlos Mendoza's employment. Now, Juan Soto is back on the injured list, but with little at stake and less pressure, the Mets have started August strong, boasting a 4-2 record.
On Friday, after sweeping the Guards at Progressive Field, the Mets won their fourth straight game, defeating the Pirates 6-4 in the first game of their series at PNC Park. This time, Semien homered, but the Mets tallied 10 hits and, just as in Cleveland, generated plenty of baserunning.
However, the Pirates took a 9-0 lead with a solid start from Chandler in Saturday's game; they remain 4.5 games behind the final wild-card spot, but Pittsburgh refuses to let their playoff hopes be extinguished. With O'Hearn and Cruz sidelined with injuries, Magnum, going 3-for-5, and Lowe, with his 25th home run of the year, carried the offense on Saturday.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Mets Prediction
In Sunday's game at PNC Park, Jared Jones will start for the home team. He's coming off a season-high start of 83 pitches, but didn't make it past the fourth inning, allowing two home runs and three earned runs against the Brewers.
Sean Manaea will start for the Mets. He's coming off three quality starts in a row, but he's putting up better performances in Queens than when he's been playing away from Citi Field. There's value in the odds for the total game on OVER.
Our prediction for Pirates vs Mets is: Over 8 runs.
