Pirates vs Mets Pick, Best Bets
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Over/Under Pick: Over 8” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/pit.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/pittsburgh-pirates” logo2url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/nym.png” link2=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/new-york-mets” link1follow=”false”][/subheader]
The first two games have gone under by a mile in this three-game series. The bats aren’t clicking, making it a pitchers’ duel.
Not today, however.
The Mets’ bats are going to get hot. Bailey Falter takes the mound for the Pirates, and the Mets will get after him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mets put up six-plus runs on Wednesday.

Juan Soto has been doing his job versus the Pirates this series.
Soto matches up very well versus Falter and has seen him nine times in his career. He’s hitting .333 versus Falter, and this success will continue on Wednesday.
Soto will get a hit and an RBI to help contribute to this parlay.
