Happy Labor Day! We haven’t had a day off since March and today is no different. Stitches, ranked No. 78 in the world, will face Serena Williams on the pickleball court (no pirouettes, no ball-shoving threats) then head home to barbecue before the Mets take on the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

The heat is on. Hotlanta has cut the Mets lead in the N.L. East to one game. It would behoove the Amazin’s to take advantage of the Pirates and rebuild their lead. Taijuan Walker (10-3, 3.45) has lost once in his last 14 starts and is 6-0 in day games, his ERA dipping to a deGrom-like 1.55. The Bucs’ Mitch Keller (4-10, 4.43 ERA) has allowed 11 runs over his last 17 innings and is 0-6 at home. Let’s Go Mets for 10 units.

For the Birds! The Orioles turned back into the Orioles on Sunday. Seth Brown hit a pair of homers and the A’s blanked the O’s 5-0. Loss takes this pickle puss to +1,195 kosherdills.
