Mets vs Giants Prediction
The Mets won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last three. I am backing the Mets to win this one and sweep the series because I don’t even know who Matt Gage is. It’s going to be the first-ever start in the MLB for Gage, and I am sure he will be under heavy pressure. Kodai Senga, on the other hand, allowed just five runs in his previous four starts and is one of the best pitchers in the NL, and one of the candidates for the Cy Young Award. Go with the Mets.
