Free NFL Pick

Jon Niese has been sharp in recent outings but can get roughed up at home as witnessed by his 4.11 ERA in 11 starts. The Pirates don’t hit lefties well, but they did get to Niese for four runs in 4 2/3 innings in a start earlier this season. Pittsburgh’s Charlie Morton has recorded a Q start in his two of his last three against the Mets, but two of those games were prior to last season. He comes into this game in the midst of a rough patch with only one Q start in his last five games and the road hasn’t been good to him this season with an ERA of 5.92 in seven starts.
