Giants at Mets picks and predictions
Prediction
Mets 5, Giants 4
Moneyline
BET METS (+102).
The Mets may be struggling as a team, but they have been almost unbeatable with Manaea on the mound, having won 5 of his last 6 starts.
While the Giants have performed well as of late, San Fran hasn’t been good as a road favorite and is just 4-6 on the season. Considering those trends, back METS (+102).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
There’s not a lot of value in either option here. The Mets +1.5 (-156) are too expensive as a run-line underdog while the Giants -1.5 (+130) are too risky, especially given Manaea’s recent success, as a run-line favorite.
Avoid a run line play.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 7.5 (-106).
The Mets have allowed at least 6 runs in 4 straight games and have scored at least 6 runs in 2 of those. They have gone Over in 8 of their last 10 and 8-1-1 O/U in the stretch. New York is 27-23-1 O/U on the season.
The Giants have gone Over in 5 straight games and have topped the total in 10 of their last 12 games. The bats for both teams have been hot. Expect that to continue and take OVER 7.5 (-106).
