OUR PICK: Take the Mets, who are 4-1 in deGrom’s last five home starts versus a team with a winning record. Of course, even though the Pirates have a winning record, they’re struggling both with performance and injuries. Not only will they lose ace Gerrit Cole for a start or two due to a recent injury, but catcher Francisco Cervelli just underwent surgery to repair a broken hand and was placed on the DL. With the Mets being offered at just -130, they’re a great buy tonight for MLB bettors.
