New York at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh has won six of its last nine games and scored 21 runs in winning the final two games of a series at Atlanta. The Pirates have won 10 of the last 13 meetings with New York, which has lost its last six road games and 10-of-13 games overall. Pittsburgh is 74-35 at home versus teams with losing records dating to last season and the Pirates have won the last four times Jacob DeGrom has started against them. DeGrom has a 2.19 ERA at home but it rises to 4.65 on the road and in two starts at PNC park last year, he gave up five runs on 11 hits in 12 2/3 innings. Chad Kuhl allowed one hit and two walks in five innings against the Phillies on Sunday and he'll be facing the Mets for the first time. The Pirates are 12-9 at home while the Mets are 8-11 on the road. There is value in the home underdog. Play the Pirates as my MLB May Game of the Month.
