Pittsburgh Pirates vs. New York Mets Game Prediction
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates, whose starting lineup struggles have led to defeats, will have Luis Ortiz (4 wins, 2 losses, 3.27 ERA) challenge for his 5th win of the season. Ortiz, who pitched as a bulk pitcher, threw 2 innings and allowed 1 run in a home game against St. Louis on the 3rd and showed commendable pitching. Though he suffered a loss pitching 1.2 innings and allowing 3 runs in an away game against the Mets on April 17, he has a day game record of 3 wins, 1 loss, a 1.35 ERA, and a .174 batting average against, making him a specialist in day games. In the previous game, O'Neil Cruz's 2-run home run off David Peterson was Pittsburgh's only score, which has been a weakness due to their inability to score outside of home runs in this series. The bullpen, enduring 2 runs in 7 innings, worked hard.
New York Mets
The New York Mets, who broke their losing streak with a mix of strong pitching and batting, will have Sean Manaea (5 wins, 3 losses, 3.67 ERA) challenge for his 6th win of the season. Manaea pitched 7 innings, allowing 2 runs in an away game against Washington on the 3rd, showcasing stable pitching in his last 4 games. How he addresses his day game record of 2 wins, 2 losses, and a 4.97 ERA is crucial. The Mets offense, which scored 5 runs by capitalizing on Pittsburgh’s pitching, turned the tide with two timely doubles. Luis Torrens, who hit a bases-clearing double with bases loaded in the third inning, is performing well as a backup catcher. The bullpen, enduring 4.2 innings with 1 hit and no runs, welcomes Edwin Diaz's return.
Game Prediction
The previous game's fate was decided by Torrens' crucial hit. Considering Ortiz’s prowess in day games and the previous impact on Peterson, this game is likely to remain tight until the later innings. Extra innings are also a possibility, and with Pittsburgh’s home-field advantage in close games, they are closer to victory. Pittsburgh Pirates are expected to win.
Predicted Score: 5:4 Pittsburgh victory
Handicap: Pittsburgh victory
Over/Under: Over
