Pirates at Mets 7/26/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to visit Citi Field in New York, New York for a National League clash against the New York Mets. The Pittsburgh Pirates come into this matchup with a 46-56 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent series finale against the Saint Louis Cardinals, 6-3. Joe Musgrove received the starting nod for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he struggled as he gave up 5 earned runs in 5 innings. Starling Marte had a solid game from the plate for the Pittsburgh Pirates as he contributed an RBI double.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to start Dario Agrazal (2-0, 2.25 ERA) who had success in his latest start as he gave up 1 earned run in 6 innings against the Philadelphia Phillies. Dario Agrazal has never recorded a start against the New York Mets as this will be his 6th career MLB start. The New York Mets come into this matchup with a 47-55 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after closing their recent series against the San Diego Padres with a win, 4-0. Jacob deGrom received the starting nod for the New York Mets, and he had success as he went 7 scoreless innings while striking out 9 batters. Todd Frazier had a solid game from the plate for the New York Mets as he went 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs.

The New York Mets are set to start Zack Wheeler (6-6, 4.69 ERA) who struggled in his latest start as he gave up 6 earned runs in 5 innings against the Philadelphia Phillies. Zack Wheeler had success in 2 starts against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the 2018 season as he went 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been awful as of recent as they have dropped 8 of their last 10 games as well as 5 consecutive games while the Mets have been on the winning side of things. Zack Wheeler has had an up and down season for the New York Mets, but he proved he can dominate the Pittsburgh Pirates as he shut them down in 2 consecutive starts last season. Pete Alonso is having a stellar season for the New York Mets, but if the Mets can consistently receive production out of Robinson Cano and Todd Frazier, they could very well turn it around this season. Final Score Prediction, New York Mets win 5-4.
