San Francisco Giants vs New York Mets Prediction: Will the Giants lose for the sixth time in a row?

San Francisco lost the first game of their home-and-home series at 3:13 to the New York Mets. Will the Giants be able to rehabilitate themselves in game two?

San Francisco Giants

The Giants have not been doing well in recent days. Gabe Kepler's team lost their series with Colorado, then lost all three games of their home series against another division rival, the San Diego Padres. They also lost in the first game of the series to the New York Mets. Considering how strong the San Francisco Mets are in the division, such bad stretches, even if not very long, are not advisable. The Giants are in third place in the NL West standings, with a 22-19 balance and six wins behind the Padres and Dodgers.

Logan Webb will pitch for San Francisco in the second game of the series with the Mets, 5-1, and a 3.54 ERA.

New York Mets

If the Giants had fallen just behind the leaders in their quintet by the end of the first quarter, the Mets were firmly in first place in the National League East Division. With a 29-15 balance, Buck Showalter's team is nine wins ahead of Philadelphia's nearest pursuer.

The entire New York team showed great play in the first game of the series in San Francisco. However, it is especially worth noting Pete Alonso, who recorded as many as 3 RBI. The star first baseman has 40 RBI and 11 home runs already.

Chris Bassitt will pitch for the Mets in the second game of the series, 4-2, with a 2.77 ERA.

Expert Betting Tips

The first game of the series was abnormally productive. So, in the second game, the teams are likely to be much more careful defensively. Both the Mets and Giants know how to defend and are likely to have a low-scoring game. Also, you might consider betting on the Mets to win. The odds on them are higher than on San Francisco, while at the moment, the difference in class seems to make the New Yorkers the favorite. Prediction: New York Mets win in the low-scoring game.
