Pirates vs. Mets MLB Underdog Fantasy Predictions
Here are the Pirates vs. Mets MLB Underdog Fantasy predictions for tonight:
David Peterson Lower Than 17.5 Outs
Peterson is projected by us to achieve 15.6 Outs, well below the 17.5 mark. Our simulations indicate a 3.2% edge and a 56.3% probability of success.
