Giants vs Mets Prediction
New York finally snapped their winning streak with a strong offensive showing on Saturday afternoon, as they continue to hold off the Phillies in the NL East. The Mets are 38-17 at home this year, while the Giants are 27-30 on the road. San Francisco has really had issues in the last 10 games and they are starting Whisenhunt, who allowed five hits and four earned runs to the Pirates in his first outing. New York is going with Montas, who has allowed at least four earned runs in three of his last five starts. I don’t like the pitching matchup and I think we will see some scoring, so take the over here.
