The Pittsburgh Pirates have been facing little challenge when they take on the New York Mets. The Pirates have won nine consecutive meetings with the Mets with five of those victories coming by three or more runs. The two clubs will close out their series Wednesday at PNC Park.
- The UNDER is 11-3 in the past 14 games between the Mets and Pirates at PNC Park.
- The Mets are 14-2 in their past 16 games against the NL Central.
- The Pirates are 12-5 in their past 17 games against the NL.
If there is one pitcher that may be able to lift the Mets past the Pirates for the first time since June 28, 2014, it is Noah Syndergaard. The fireballer has a ridiculous 1.91 ERA with a 0.96 WHIP so far this season while only allowing more than two runs in an outing twice.
The biggest storyline of this game though may be Jameson Taillon. The 24-year old was the second overall pick in the 2010 MLB Draft – selected between Bryce Harper and Manny Machado – but underwent Tommy John surgery in 2014. Taillon – who has a 2.04 ERA in 10 starts in Triple A this year – will finally be making the first start of his career.
