The Pirates' road record this season is pyrrhic: 5-16, and they therefore seem almost destined to be swept in Queens by one of the best home teams in the MLB, the Mets, with a 17-4 record.

The Pirates had Skenes pitching in Game 1, and despite the ace giving them the lead, the Pirates couldn't hold on to the lead due to defensive plays that perhaps another team could have handled. After firing their manager, the Bucks hope to turn around what has been a poor season so far. In New York, they played two close games against the Mets, losing both by one run, and this is eight losses in their last 10 games.

Carlos Mendoza's team knows how to win close games at Citi Field, something they've proven time and time again. The pitching from any of their starters and the reliable relief pitching also bury any team's offense in the pitchers' park that is Mets Stadium. They had two fewer hits than the Pirates in Game 2, but still won thanks to Debaty's home run in the fifth inning. Edwin Díaz recorded his ninth save.

Pittsburgh Pirates - New York Mets Key Points

  1. The Pirates struck out 11 times in Game 2

  3. The Mets' bullpen ERA is 3.03, fourth-best in MLB
  4. The Pirates' bullpen has allowed 53 home runs this season

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Mets Prediction

Lindor went 0-for-4 with 3 strikeouts in Game 2, as did Alonso with 2 strikeouts, but the Mets are a team in every sense of the word that manages to win even in the midst of a less-than-stellar day from one of their stars. Holmes will be the Mets' starter on Wednesday, and his last five starts have seen him win, most recently a 7-2 victory over the Cubs in Queens. Our prediction for Mets vs Pirates is: Mets -1.5.

Prediction:

 

Mets -1.5.
