Why The Mets Could Cover The Spread
Stripling will be making just his second start of the season for the Giants Sunday night. He has not been having a good season. In 12 1/3 innings pitched, Stripling has given up 14 hits with six of those hits being home runs. In this series, the Mets have hit five home runs to bring their season total to 25. Stripling gives up the long ball often, so the Mets have a great chance to add to their total. The Mets do not need to hit home runs to win, but they will in this game.
Megill has started four games already this season and has done well. He has gone at least five innings in every start and has not given up more than three runs in a single start. As long as he has another good game, the Mets will win and cover the spread.
Why The Giants Could Cover The Spread
San Francisco has hit the third most home runs this season. Megill, although pitching well, has given up four home runs in four games started. The Giants will get some mistakes over the plate in this game, they just have to capitalize. They have eight different hitters with at least three home runs this season. San Francisco has also hit 25 of their 32 home runs off of right-handed pitching. The Giants see righties a little bit better and they are facing one in this game.
Final Mets-Giants Prediction & Pick
The Mets are the better team this season and have the better pitcher on the mound. Expect New York to win this game, cover the spread and win the series.
Final Mets-Giants Prediction & Pick: Mets -1.5 (+138), Over 9 (-105)
