The Pirates are 3-16 since the All-Star Break. The Mets have won 7 in a row and 12 of 16 and getting great pitching and defense. NY Is just 4 games behind in the Wild Card.

Steven Matz is on a roll, and he just tossed a complete-game shutout of these Pirates on July 22 in New York. He's allowed four earned runs over his last 20 innings. Pittsburgh's Trevor Williams has just two quality starts in his last 10 tries. Lets ride the RED HOT NY METS on Friday night.
