Four straight correct picks for me, so I’m on a solid roll. Now comes the Pirates series.

Pittsburgh’s a pretty unimpressive squad, but the Mets do have to face their two best pitchers in Ian Snell and Tom Gorzelanny. I wonder if Pittsburgh could snag two games here, but it’s probably unlikely. The Pirates just aren’t good enough.

Mets take two of three.

MY STANDINGS:

SERIES PICKED: 31

SERIES I GOT RIGHT: 17

I’m off today but I wrote a story today about where the Mets are a week before the trade deadline, which you can check out here.

Six days to go — it’ll be interesting.
