New York Mets vs. San Francisco Giants Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I don’t trust either of these teams offensively for the most part, and I think this is a solid starting pitching matchup here with Holmes and Roupp. I think it’s a first to 4 wins game at most here so give me the under.
