New York Mets
Vargas will be making his first start since landing on the DL on June 19th. In his last outing he was rocked by the Colorado Rockies who hit in seven earned runs and three home runs while he struck out none and walked none in an 8-10 loss.
In 37.2 innings of work this season, Vargas owns a low strike out (7.65 K/9) rate, a decent walk (3.35 BB/9) rate, but has struggled containing the long ball (2.63 HR/9) and stranding base runners (63.6% LOB%). The end-result is an ugly 8.60 ERA and a lower but still ugly 6.61 FIP.

New York has played mediocre baseball in the past week as they won two of their four contests. During that span their lineup is slashing .231/.329/.366 to go with 11 extra-base hits and 19 RBI.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Nova was solid in his last outing as he was able to put in a quality start and picked up his sixth win of the season in a 9-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. He went 6.2 innings giving up five hits and two earned runs while he struck out two and walked two.
In 109.1 innings of work this season, Nova owns a low strikeout (6.67 K/9) rate, a solid walk (1.56 BB/9) rate, but has struggled containing the long ball (1.56 HR/9). The end-result is a moderate 4.28 ERA and a slightly higher 4.57 FIP.
Pittsburgh has been hot in the last week as they won five of their six contests. During that span their lineup has been hot slashing .364/.394/.663 to go with 26 extra-base hits and 41 RBI

4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Pirates -1.5 & Pirates OVER Team Total
Nova has a 5.32 ERA in the month of July, but he is coming off of a quality start and owns a 2.92 ERA at home this season. Vargas will be fresh off of the DL and he has been terrible to begin with. Nova may give up some runs here and there, but I expect this hot Pittsburgh lineup to slug their way to victory.
