New York at Pittsburgh

The NY Mets and the Pittsburgh Pirates both came into the season as hopeful playoff teams. However, they have started out poorly, as both teams entering are well below the .500 mark. A hamstring injury to Yoenis Cespedes has had a big impact on the Mets offense in a negative way. The Mets were supposed to have a strong rotation, but are allowing a woeful 5.46 runs per game, and are just 4-10 in their last 14 where they have allowed six runs per game. The Pirates have hit the five-run mark in 7 of their last 12 games, and have swung the bats exceptionally well lately. The Mets have allowed five runs per game in Wheelers starts this season, which should be enough for a comfortable win here. Take Pittsburgh on the runline.
