Pirates vs Mets Preview

The Pittsburgh Pirates will head to Citi Field to meet the New York Mets on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. The game will start at 7:10 PM, and fans are looking forward to seeing the action under the night sky. Both teams have had mixed results this season, and this game will be a good test for them.

Bailey Falter will start for the Pirates. He has played in eight games this season with a 2-3 record and a 4.36 ERA. On the mound for the Mets will be Clay Holmes, who has a 5-1 record and a 2.74 ERA. The starting pitchers will play a key role in how the game unfolds.

Mets’ Key Players and Performance

Pete Alonso leads the New York Mets with a strong batting average of .310. He has hit 9 home runs and driven in 36 runs, both ranking first in the league. Alonso also has a high on-base percentage of .419.

Francisco Lindor contributes with a .302 batting average. He has also hit 9 home runs and scored 28 runs. Lindor’s 26 RBIs rank him second on the team.

Juan Soto adds depth to the lineup with 8 home runs. He leads the team with 31 runs scored. Soto’s on-base percentage is an impressive .380.

Pirates Aim to Overcome Challenges

The Pittsburgh Pirates have some players to watch. Oneil Cruz, the center fielder, is a key player with a batting average of .238. However, Cruz is dealing with a back issue and may not play. Bryan Reynolds plays right field for the Pirates. His batting average is .198, but he leads the team with 20 RBIs. Reynolds has hit 5 home runs this season. Ke’Bryan Hayes is another player to consider. He has a batting average of .260 and has driven in 15 runs. Hayes has hit only 1 home run but plays a vital role on the team.

Final Betting Pick

The Mets are a strong pick for the MoneyLine at -265. They have a solid home record of 17-4, which is one of the best in the league. Their pitching staff leads with a 2.81 ERA, and they have allowed the fewest home runs. This makes them a tough team to score against.

Choosing the Under 8.0 (-115) is a smart move given the Mets’ pitching strength. The Pirates have struggled with a 14-29 record and a low team batting average of .219. With Oneil Cruz possibly out due to injury, the Pirates’ offense might be even less effective. This could lead to a low-scoring game.
