AAA's SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH (+$7,000 MLB Y-T-D!)
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. NY Mets,
Money Line: -160.00 NY Mets (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the New York Mets.

The Mets line-up is banged up, but the home side has the big pitching advantage tonight. When the smoke clears at the end of this one, we're expecting Jacob DeGrom to outduel his rookie counterpart. Pittsburgh has also scuffled of late (and is also injured), getting outscored 37-17 during a five-game losing streak. Jameson Taillon is expected to go here, he faced the Mets last week and gave up three runs over six innings. DeGrom (3-2, 2.80) has the big advantage though obviously, he's 2-0 with a tiny 2.03 ERA at home. No need to overanalyze this one. Both teams are injured and both are struggling at the plate, but clearly DeGrom is the superior starter in this matchup. We feel this line should be a lot higher. Play on the METS.
