Preview
The San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets will play the 2nd game series at the Oracle Park on Tuesday night. The Mets destroyed the Giants in the first of the series beating them 13-3.
New York Mets
The Mets get here with a 29-15 record and have won 5 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4.57 runs per game and allowing 3.5 runs. Jeff McNeil is batting for .306 AVG while Pete Alonso leads with 11 home runs and 37 RBI.
Max Scherzer leads the team with a 2.54 ERA, 59 strikeouts and 5 wins recorded for the Mets.
Probable Pitcher:
Chris Bassitt (4-2, 2.77 ERA) will be on the mound for the Mets in the 2nd game of the series. The right-hander has posted a 2.77 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 48.2 innings. With Max Scherzer (oblique), Jacob deGrom (shoulder) and Tylor Megill (biceps) all on the injured list, Bassitt will be particularly important for the Mets over the next few weeks. he got pounded by the Giants the last time he faced them allowing 5 runs in 6 innings.
San Francisco Giants
The Giants get here with a 22-19 record and have lost 5 straight games. The team is averaging 5 runs per game while allowing 4.35 runs. Wilmer Flores leads the team with 24 RBI and batting for an average of .260. Joc Pederson has 7 home runs.
Logan Webb leads the team with a 3.48 ERA and 28 strikeouts, recording 5 wins for the Giants.
Probable Pitcher:
Logan Webb (5-1, 3.54 ERA) will be on the mound for the Giants in the 2nd game of the series. Webb allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six across seven innings Wednesday against the Rockies. He did not factor into the decision. He allowed 3 runs in 3.2 innings earlier this season against the Mets.
BETTING TRENDS
NY Mets are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games.
NY Mets are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against San Francisco.
San Francisco are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of San Francisco's last 7 games at home.
Prediction
The Giants are on a losing streak and have struggled offensively in their last 3 games but they will send their best pitcher to the mound. Logan Webb has a 5-1 record and the Giants have lost only 2 games this season when he has started. The Mets are on fire right now but Webb will slow them down. I'm taking the Giants.
