Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As we gear up for Thursday's clash between the New York Mets and the Pittsburgh Pirates, all eyes should be on Joey Bart. The young catcher has been sizzling at the plate, and with the Pirates' pitching struggles, this could be a perfect storm for him. Over his last few games, Bart has consistently found ways to get on base, and facing a lineup that hasn’t exactly struck fear into hitters should bode well for him.
The Mets are coming off a solid stretch, showcasing their offensive prowess, and Bart has shown he can capitalize on these opportunities. With the Pirates’ starter susceptible to left-handed hitters, it creates a prime matchup for Bart to not only see good pitches but also to deliver. Betting on him to get over 0.5 hits seems like a prudent play, especially given he's been hot and the matchup is favorable. Expect him to make an impact in this game!
