Stephen Nover's MLB Saturday Underdog Special
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. NY Mets, 07/26/2019 3:10 PM, Score: 3 - 6
Money Line: 162.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Loss
The Pirates are in a slump. But the Mets have no business laying a price this high when Jacob deGrom isn't pitching.

The pitching matchup is Dario Agrazal versus Zach Wheeler, who is coming off a stint on the injured list due to shoulder fatigue.

Agrazal isn't a prize rookie. But he has been decent and is floating below the radar screen having allowed one run during three of his last four starts while reaching the sixth inning each time. The Pirates have the better bullpen especially with Edwin Diaz questionable after taking a liner off his foot Thursday.

Wheeler last pitched on July 7 when he gave up six runs in five innings to the Phillies. Wheeler has a 4.69 ERA on the season. Agrazal, by comparison, has a 2.25 ERA.
