Pittsburgh vs New York Mets Game Analysis
Pittsburgh
Bailey Falter (4 wins, 6 losses, 3.87 ERA) is aiming for his fifth win of the season. It's encouraging that Falter achieved a victory with 5 innings, 2 hits, and 1 run in an away game against Atlanta on the 1st, overcoming his poor away performance. Although he faced a defeat with 5 innings and 2 runs in an away game against the Mets on April 18, he's a strong pitcher at home, making a rebound possible. The expression "ended with home runs" fits well with Pittsburgh's offense, which scored 14 points with 7 home runs after completely overpowering the Mets' pitching staff in the previous game. The key will be whether the destructive power shown with the two grand slams in one game is a one-time event. It’s fortunate that Dalton Jeffries managed to hold out for 2 innings alone.
New York Mets
David Peterson (3 wins, 3.51 ERA) is aiming for his fourth win of the season. Peterson showed strong performance with 6.1 innings and 2 runs in an away game against Washington on the 2nd, continuing his trend of weak pitches at home but strong ones away. Last year, he recorded 3.2 innings and 1 run pitching at home against Pittsburgh, but needs to count on his away strength for this game. The Mets' offense, which only scored 2 points including Jeff McNeil's solo home run against Paul Skenes in the previous game, is notably declining in away games. The downturn in the later innings is particularly serious. The bullpen, which allowed 7 runs in 2 innings, is becoming the worst in the league once again.
Comment
The previous game was explosive with home runs. However, it's unlikely that the momentum will continue into this game. Both teams are not good at targeting left-handers, and Falter is strong at home while Peterson is strong away. However, Pittsburgh’s bullpen is significantly more stable, which will likely be the decisive factor. With superior pitching, the Pittsburgh Pirates are closer to a win.
