The New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates will play the rubber-match of their weekend series on Sunday Night Baseball from PNC Park in Pittsburgh. The Pirates rallied from two runs down twice to even the series up with a 5-4 victory in 10 innings last night, earning their ninth win in 14 games since dropping six in a row. John Jaso supplied a pinch-hit RBI single in the ninth to force extra innings before delivering his first hit off a left-hander in over a year in the 10th to cap the walk-off victory. It was the third loss in four games for New York, who are dead last in the majors in ERA at 4.99. Pirates CF Andrew McCutchen homered Saturday and is 4-for-9 during his three-game hitting streak following a 1-for-20 skid. Mets OF Yoenis Cespedes was shut down until Tuesday after experiencing quadriceps soreness in the first game of his rehab assignment. Matt Harvey will be seeking back-to-back victories for the first time since the beginning of the season, but he’s a long way from the dominant pitcher he was when he entered the league. The once-overpowering right-hander, who has dealt with on and off-field issues, has walked more batters than he has struck out in his last five starts.
Pitchers: Mets – Matt Harvey (3-3, 5.36 ERA) | Pirates – Tyler Glasnow (2-3, 6.69)
Harvey has failed to go beyond 5.1 innings in five consecutive starts, although he recorded the victory last time out by limiting San Diego to two runs on three hits in five innings. Harvey had to overcome four walks in that outing, continuing an alarming trend that has seen him issue 21 free passes in his last 25 innings. He is 0-1 with a 5.29 ERA in three career starts versus Pittsburgh.
Tyler Glasnow has allowed three runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts, but he failed to pitch beyond five innings in four of them. Glasnow allowed a season-high nine hits but surrendered just two runs over six innings in a no-decision at Atlanta last time out. Glasnow, who has allowed at least one homer in five consecutive starts, is 1-2 with a 6.00 ERA at home.

I don’t trust either pitcher in this game. Both have major control issues and extremely high ERA’s. I’m leaning towards the Mets, but I think the over is the way to go here.
Pick: OVER 9 -110
