Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Pirates and the Mets
Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans toward the Buccos:
“One of the angles I like in baseball is backing a team to avoid a sweep. The Pirates avoided a sweep against the Braves after two consecutive series of being swept. At +220 odds, the Pirates aren’t a bad look today in what could be another low-scoring affair.”
