In their last encounter with the Houston Astros on June 28th, the Mets showcased a remarkable blend of hitting and pitching that led them to a triumphant 7-2 victory. Their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities was evident as they amassed seven runs from nine hits, demonstrating not just power but clutch hitting when it mattered most. The bullpen's stellar performance, maintaining a perfect ERA across five innings pitched, underscored the depth of talent within the Mets' pitching staff.


Comparatively, in games against their city rivals, the New York Yankees on June 26th and 27th, the Mets' bats were ablaze. They outscored the Yankees by an aggregate score of 21-9 over these two games. Particularly impressive was their display on June 27th where they rallied to secure a commanding 12-2 win. The team's .353 batting average across these matchups speaks volumes about their current form and readiness to take on any challenge.

The Pirates should not be underestimated though; they have shown resilience and skill throughout this season. However, given the recent statistical dominance by NYM - especially in terms of hitting power and run production - it seems likely that Pittsburgh will face an uphill battle.


As we look ahead to July 5th at PNC Park in Pittsburgh at 6:40 PM EDT, all eyes will be on whether NYM can maintain their offensive momentum while continuing to exhibit tight defense and effective pitching against PIT.

With both teams keenly aware of what's at stake, spectators can expect nothing short of an enthralling battle filled with strategic plays, powerful hits, and pitch-perfect throws under the lights at PNC Park.
