Pittsburgh Pirates vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/13/25

For this one, we will see the second meeting between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Mets. The Mets were able to pull off the win in the first meeting even though they went up against Paul Skenes. This is not a positive thing for the Pirates. For today, the starters will be Mitch Keller of the Pirates and Kodai Senga of the Mets. Keller is coming off 2 rough starts this month where he has pitched 11 innings and given up 7 runs on 15 hits. The Pirates have lost the last 5 games that Keller has started. Senga has been the exact opposite. He has pitched twice this month giving up 1 run and 7 hits through 10 innings. Senga also has a 0.61 ERA at home this year only giving up 1 run through 14.2 innings.

In the first game, we saw the Mets accrue a total of 9 hits while the Pirates hit the ball 7 times. This aligns with the hitting statistics for these teams on the year. On the year, the Mets have a batting average of .255 with 203 runs scored while the Pirates have a .220 batting average with only 130 runs scored. Additionally, the Mets have scored 90 runs in their 20 home games while the Pirates have scored 55 runs through 20 away games. These statistics signify why the Mets are 16-4 at home and the Pirates are 5-15 away. The cherry on top is that the Mets have the better bullpen between these teams. Given the better starter, bullpen, and hitting of the Mets there is a chance that the Pirates will struggle in this one. I am taking the Mets on the run line.
