New York at Pittsburgh

The New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves are now in a heated race for the NL East. The Mets have a 1 game lead with just 27 to play. The Mets open a 3 game series against Pittsburgh tonight and realize they have a chance for the sweep. The Pirates are playing poorly coming off of 4 straight losses, and have been out-scored 18-5. The Pirates are also 2-9 over their last 11 games and have been out-scored 60-26 in the 11 games. The Mets have too big of an opportunity to dispose of a team that is 49-84 and hopefully build on their lead. Make the play on the NY Mets.
