Giants at Mets picks and predictions
Prediction
Giants 4, Mets 2
Money line
Through 20 career games, Megill has held right-handed bats to a .559 OPS, while lefties have clobbered him for a .942 mark. San Francisco bats plenty from the left side and with authority and frequency at the top of the order.
Cobb was sharp in his first outing and is backed by a better-rested bullpen in the back end.
BACK SAN FRANCISCO (+102).
