Pittsburgh at New York

Premium Pick

Pittsburgh scored six runs in the seventh inning and beat the Mets 7-4 on Tuesday night, as New York came ever closer to falling into last place in the NL East. The Mets are rapidly deteriorating as they allowed a walk, a hits-batsman and a passed ball all in that same inning. Tylor Megill starts tonight and he is 6-6 with a 5.64 ERA and 1.70 WHIP and he has given up 11 runs (10 earned) on 18 hits his past two outings in 10 innings pitched, including a 7-0 loss to Atlanta on Friday when he gave up six runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. Johan Oviedo had three great starts allowing only two runs in 20 innings before losing to Cincinnati. New York batters are just 9-for-41 with no homers against Oviedo. Three of the past four meetings have gone UNDER, and Oviedo's starts have stayed UNDER three of four versus the Mets. Take the Pirates on the runline (Max Play), and play this game to stay UNDER.
