Soto has run hot and cold to start his tenure with the Mets, and he strung together an 11-for-30 heater with nine runs and a .474 on-base percentage across eight contests prior to his recent two-game funk that's resulted in an 0-for-9 stretch at the dish. The tough pitching matchup against Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes is built into the price, and Soto has been elite with a career .417 wOBA and .989 OPS against right-handed hurlers. Plus, he’s already scored 30 runs across 41 games this year.


New York Mets lefty David Peterson is coming off a season-high 104 pitches, which could mean a lesser workload for a pitcher who is already 4-3 to the Under on this total this season. It’s the light-hitting Pittsburgh Pirates but Peterson rarely gets deep as just two of his seven starts have gone for more than 91 pitches. That makes the triple-digit outing even more of a worry for his length today. The last time Peterson threw 104 more pitches was in 2023 where he tossed 110 pitches and lasted just 61 pitches the next outing despite going four innings and one earned run.
