Pittsburgh at New York

Jeff Locke had been having a decent season until he became a victim of Coors Field in an 11-5 loss at Colorado on Thursday. However, Pittsburgh had won his previous four starts and the New York Mets are 27th in the major leagues with a .681 OPS against left-handers. The Pirates won 4-0 last night to break a five-game losing streak during a week where they had to play a doubleheader as well as travel to Colorado to play a makeup game. Pittsburgh has won 18 of the last 23 meetings with the Mets, including the last four at Citi Field. Noah Syndergaard started at Pittsburgh his last time out and gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings in a no-decision as the Mets won 6-5. Pittsburgh batters have an .836 OPS against Syndergaard. Take the Pirates to make it two in a row.
