The final game between the New York Mets and the Pittsburgh Pirates starts on Sunday afternoon. The four-game series is currently being led 3-0 by the Mets as they have convincingly defeated their opponents. Game 4 will be played on the Mets' home field.
"Saturday night done right" - Mets
New York have been dominant this season, still leading the National League East division, ahead of the Atlanta Braves. They have crossed the 90- mark in wins and are 92-55 for the season. Both home (49-26) and away (43-29) records are phenomenal and the key to their success. With three consecutive wins, they are 6-4 in their last 10 and the Pirates don't seem to have any reasonable hopes of victory.
Pittsburgh are currently last in the NL Central with a poor (55-91) record. Their home (28-43) and away (27-48) records tell the story of their miserable season. They are 5-5 in their last 10, with three of those defeats coming at the hands of the Mets. The Pirates would like to end the season on a high note and get some wins. That would definitely encourage the fans and help the team prepare for next season.
"Final"- Pirates
Game 4 will be played on Sunday afternoon. The Mets will be looking to make it four in a row and get a clean sweep. Pittsburgh should look to just enjoy themselves on the field and give their best. They might win their game against New York if they play with a free mind. With all that said, it is still difficult to win against the strongest team in the division.
